Baby Crochet

Crochet patterns that are made by hand are made with love. Crochet hats, crochet toys, crochet hanger patterns, knitted hangers, blankets and booties will be required from baby's first few weeks.

Crocheted hats are very handy especially for newborns. If the baby is premature, special care is taken to prevent the loss of body heat. They are

soft, comfortable, protective and excellent for this. They are easy and inexpensive to make, only requiring a hook and a ball of yarn.

My baby clothing patterns are all worked in 3 ply 100% nylon baby yarn. This yarn is durable, easy to care for, and lends itself very well to these patterns.

Crocheted booties are a quick easy project to create. I have made a twisted cord to thread through at the ankles instead of ribbon. You may use ribbon if you wish, however I find ribbon bows tend to come undone quite easily, resulting in booties slipping off baby's feet and being lost.

This crochet blanket pattern is worked in one piece and one color, however it will also look very effective worked in stripes of either two alternating colors, or a variety of soft hues. Crocheted blankets and lace shawls are some of the most useful gifts a newborn can receive. They can be transferred from pram to cot to floor, or to wrap your bundle of joy in to keep him/her snug and warm.

Crochet toys http://www.learn-how-to-crochet.com/crochet-toys.html make cute shower gifts. Imagine the delight your friend or relative will feel when you present them with the beautiful present you've taken the time and effort to create especially for them. What gift would be more appreciated than something unique that was created with love?

I hope you enjoy creating my free original designs. They are located on my website http://www.learn-how-to-crochet.com/ along with many more great free crochet and knitting patterns, as well as my Crochet Made Easy e-book with easy to follow, step by step instructions and photographs to have the beginner creating beautiful projects in no time.

 Happy Crocheting
