Baby Sweater !!!

Hello Everyone.. 

Its festival time in India and a very happy Navaratri to all. My big day is nearing and really scared about it. Ahh im already getting nightmares on it. Just 15 - 20 more days to go for the new one to arrive and cant wait. Just trying to keep myself busy by crocheting baby stuff. 

I had this wonderful Stylecraft Aran yarn ordered from Deramores which i had bought earlier without any specific plans. But now used it to make this cute baby sweater set. 

This is made from a beautiful raspberry color Stylecraft Aran yarn. Tried to capture the exact color but they have not turned out great though. The sweater pattern is from HERE  and she has given an incredible explanation on how to make the arm holes too. This is the first wearable crochet i tried for baby apart from beanies. It turned out big as the Aran yarn was thicker.  The size is not for a newborn but anyways babies grow quite fast.. so i expect to use it till 6 months or so. 

And yeah the buttons that were brought from Pradhan Stores Mumbai.. And mixed some blue foor two rows as single color was looking too plain.

And the wonderful sock pattern is from HERE . Just follow the instructions blindly and you will end up with this cuties.. Initially it was confusing as i didn't do the stitch counts properly but once the counts are perfect the result is perfect too. The only disadvantage of this pattern is that you got to sew at the heel part which i don't like. Otherwise its an easy and quick pattern. 

The beanie pattern with ear flap is from HERE . By the way we can get hell lot of hat patterns from there.

So thats it for now.. And more baby stuff to come in the following days.

Happpy Hooking !!

Pink Baby Bonnet !!!

Hello People!!

Hope everyone is fine!! I did miss this beautiful blog world for a while due to many reasons. And I am very happy to inform everyone there that im expecting baby in the end of October and that is the most important reason that kept me busy all these days (oops.. actually months) and i could not make any proper posts though i have many projects started and incomplete.. and a few completed. 

Motherhood is indeed a blessing and i am so happy for being one who is blessed. Just a few weeks left and i am eagerly waiting for the arrival for the new one. I have started the preparations already with few crochet works for him/her. Ahhhhh.. the fact that i am unaware that its a boy or girl makes it difficult to chose the yarn color :) Either it should be so pinkish or  bluish or greyish.. anyway i have chosen many wonderful patterns and they are waiting in queue to be made after the arrival of my prince / princess :)

Still so curious and could not wait for 10 more weeks, i made a cute bonnet in pink..  it looks really so girlish i know.. it is a very different and incredible feeling that couldnt be explained when i finished this bonnet.. i was so happy that i made something for him /her. :)

The pattern is from HERE

Bonnets are actually out of fashion and its very hard to find good patterns for bonnets except in some vintage links. There are hell lot of hat and beanie patterns but still bonnets are very cute when worn.

 

And thats not it.. i am also making few other bonnets in different patterns and sizes as i am not very sure which one would fit a newborn. I am also trying my hands on a baby cardigan and im so excited the way they are all turning out!!

Meet you all with all those completed baby projects soon. Take care and happy hooking!!

With Love,

Men Beanie Hat !!!

Heyyyy All.. Its time for some beanies this time..        

After making some hats and shawls with girlish colors and flowers i badly needed a break from it and moved on to something grey.. My bro was asking since a long time a nice beanie for him after seeing the girl hats i made.. I will post the girl beanies in the next post..

Though in India its not that cold to use a beanie regularly, thought it would be useful during a early morning or late night drive..  And here they are..

 One went on my bro's head and another went as a B'day present to one of my dear friend.. but just heard that its not fitting his big head!!! More brain may be.. naah.. just more hair!!! :)

Before making this i tried several other beanie patterns but I was not happy with them and ended up in removing them several times. But this one.. is really simple and the shape turned out awesome..  Liz of Crochet in Color has written it easy and clear.. Find the pattern here

The left outs of cream yarn helped me to make those three elegant stripes for my beanie..

Actually had a second thought when it came to white and grey.. but liked that combination too when it was fully done..

Looks really nice on someone's head...

And some more hats of the same pattern in mid blue..

If you notice well, the last three rows of these blue beanies are a bit different and they make nice thin striped sekf design. I did  SC in the last three rows and only in the backloop of the chains.. and the frontloops make a thin stripe..  :)

I wish i would make more hats and give them away as gifts..

Right now giving more work for my eyes crocheting a biiggggg double pineapple doily in a nice blue, hope that would be my next week's post!

With  Love,
Pavi
