Grace Tender Baby Blanket

I found the pattern for this stunning baby blanket on You Tube

Grace Tender

It's crocheted in Hayfield DK White Baby Yarn

Size 4mm hook

The flower detail in the centre of the blanket is really pretty and sets off the blanket really nicely

Patchwork Granny Blanket..

I decided to use the scraps of wool which are left over from various projects.

Making granny squares is really easy and doesn't require much yarn to make  a really lovely project.

Edged in cream DK yarn, this blanket looks really pretty

Ten Point Star...

This lovely ten point star blankie is made using Hayfield Baby DK yarn in white

Size 4mm crochet hook

Virus Shawl...

I decided to crochet this lovely Virus Shawl pattern which I found on You Tube

And using a really soft cotton/wool/acrylic yarn which I bought in John Lewis

King Cole Drifter

Kentucky

400g

I made this lovely soft shawl !

The yarn is a lovely blue, cream and brown mix and I think it is perfectly suited to this project.

The Virus stitch is a bit tricky to start off but once you have completed the first few rounds, the pattern begins to make more sense and it really is a lovely project to complete.

Due the softness of the yarn I think that the shawl drapes really nicely and is very soft to touch.

Special Baby Blankets...

I've  been asked to crochet a couple of baby blankets for a charity event in the summer, so  I decided to stay with my favourite star shaped afghans which are so easy to do and they always look really pretty.

Both are crocheted in acrylic double knitting yarn

There's one for a girl

And one for a boy!!

They look like five pointed star fish and once you get the first few rounds completed they are really easy to do and can be done in any size.

Baby Blanket and friend...

This lap blanket is perfect size for a baby carrier.

It's crocheted in Baby Rico So Soft Print  Double Knitting Yarn (200g)


Purple Mix

The cute dog was also fun to knit in Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky Yarn

Teddy (25g) Cream (25g)

It's all in the bag...

 Since there is always a need for an extra bag or two I decide to experiment with crochet string bags in different yarn thicknesses. These fold up into your handbag and hold more than you think, although they do STRETCH quite a bit !!


The green bag is crocheted in Debbie Bliss Mia  wool/cotton mix and the multi-coloured bag is crocheted in a thick variegated double knitting acrylic weight yarn,
