A Baby Shower Gift Set

A good friend of mine was having a baby, so I needed to decide what to give her.  I was able to give her this really great Baby Gate and Play Yard from Amazon.  And additionally, I was able to crochet her some gifts. And this is the whole lot of crocheted items for the mommy-to-be: A baby blanket, childproof door knob covers, and a tether to keep things like pacifiers and sippy cups from falling to the ground.





Blanket:


Ch 24


Row 1: 3dc in the 6th ch from hook, ch 1, *skip 2 ch, 3dc in next, ch 1, repeat from * until you get to the last ch, ch5 and sl into the same ch at the last cluster of 3dc.  


Row 2:  Rotate your work so you are on the opposite side of your base ch. Sl to next ch2 sp.  Ch 3 (counts as stitch), 2dc in ch2 space, ch 1, *3dc in next ch2 sp, ch 1 and repeat from *until you reach the ch5 sp.  In the ch5 sp 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1. Now that you are on the other side *3dc in next ch1 sp, ch 1 and repeat from *until you reach the ch5 sp. In the ch5 sp 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1, sl to top of ch 3.


Row 3-14: Sl to the next ch1 sp. Ch 3 (counts as stitch), 2dc in ch1 space, ch 1, *3dc in next ch1 sp, ch 1 and repeat from *until you reach the corner/ ch2 sp.  In the corner sp 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1. Contine around putting 3dc in a ch1 space and 3dc, ch2, 3dc in a ch2/corner sp.


Edging: 


You can switch colors here if you like or not.  I did not have enough of the pink yarn to finish the edging, so I found something else in my stash.


Row 15: ch3 (counts as stitch), 1 dc in each stitch, 1 dc in each ch1 space, and 5 dc in each corner space, sl to first stitch.  


Row 16: Sl in first st, sk 1 st, 5dc in next stitch, sk 1 st, sl into next st, this creates as shell. Repeat along the edge. In the ch2 sp/corner do 7dc instead of 5dc.





A friend of mine was having a baby, so I put together a few things that I crocheted as part of her gift, and I also was able to gift her this really great Baby Gate and Play Yard as well. And this is the whole gift for the mommy-to-be: A baby blanket, childproof door knob covers, and a tether to keep things like pacifiers and sippy cups from falling to the ground.





Tether:


I also made a tether just by making a long chain (I just made it what I thought would be long enough to wrap around a chair, a sippy cup and then not fall to the floor from a high chair, then I did tr across and then started a chain about 3” long, then attached it to the end and did as many singles as would fit across then did the same number of chains to make the ties, do that on both ends. 




Knob Covers:


And the door knob safety covers I used Child-proof Door Knob Covers from This Lovely Life.

Textured Crossbody Tote Bag

I needed to make something for my niece's birthday, and I had a 10oz Skein of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre that I wanted to use as much as possible to make her a bag.  I couldn't find a pattern that clearly stated it would take around the amount of yarn (482 yards) that is in one of these, so I just sat down and started doing some things and out came this bag.  I used almost the entire skein, I had enough left to make 2 tassels, so I did and added those to the bag.   Materials Needed: Approx 10oz of   Worsted Weigh t or similar yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre . 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Optional: Tassel Maker Body: Ch 47 Row 1: Sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 45 st.  Rotate, and sc in each ch on the other side, 45 st. (90 st). Place Marker. Row 2 - 4: Work in rounds, using your stitch marker at the end of each row to keep count.  Sc in each st (90 st) until the end of the round. Row 5: *Dc in next stitch, Fpdc in

Granny Square Market Bag

Materials Needed: Around 590yd of DK yarn, I used Lion Brand Yarn 525-201 Mandala Yarn, Unicorn, 1-Pack 5mm Crochet Hook I also love to use my Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Handle , it really makes a difference! Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just follow from row 24 on.  The chain 80 is for the straps, so you can adjust those on your preference.  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch hhdc = herringbone half double crochet Pattern: Row 1: ch 4, sl in 1st ch to form a ring.  Ch 3(counts as stitch), 2dc, ch2, *3dc ch2* repeat from * until you have 4 clusters of dc, sl to top of ch3. Row 2:  sl st to the corner

A Batty Tablet Stand Pillow

It's hard to find yarn projects that work for men! I needed a nice Father's Day gift, so I thought a tablet stand pillow would be a good idea! I also wanted it to have a bat on it, for you know, batty reasons. This was my first time both making a graph and working from a graph, but it came out better than expected. If you're no so into bats, you could also just skip the graph and do a solid color, stripes, or even a different graph of your own liking. So here's what I did: You will need: Less than a skein of black  Worsted Weight Yarn , but you will use most of it. I used Red Heart Super Saver . Less than a skein of yellow  Worsted Weight Yarn , you won't use that much of it. I used something I had already that didn't have a label on it anymore. Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Poly-fill A crochet hook a little smaller than what your yarn recommends. I used a  4mm Crochet Hook   First, I started with the bottom t
