Crochet baby jacket


Another project for my little one. I saw a similar jacket at H&M but they didn't have small sizes. So I took some leftover wool and made one on my own. It's made of two rectangular pieces for the arms, one rectangular piece for the back with a neckline built-in and two rectangular pieces for the front, also with a V-neckline. I used one of the jackets I had bought her as pattern for the right size. At first it looked a bit like a Japanese Kimono. But then I also crocheted a cord so that it got a bit more shape. The crochet pattern is three double crochets in one chain then leave one space and put three double crochets into the next chain again and so forth. You start the row with one double crochet, then leave one space and then start with the three double crochets in one chain. Finish the row off with three double crochets in one chain, one space and one double crochet at the end. I am always a bit experimental when crocheting so I didn't note down the number of chains for each piece. But it depends on the yarn thickness anyway so telling you a number would probably not help.

Crochet elephant toy

While waiting for the arrival of little one I was into crocheting again. I found this cute book with crochet animals. There is only one problem - it's in Japanese. But it has lots of pictures next to the instructions. So if you are not a beginner you can figure out how to do it. Mine was inspired by the totally adorable Anne Claire Petit toys (http://www.anneclairepetit.nl/index.php?page=2_1).

IKEA crochet decoration


No need to crochet every single piece just cheat a bit with these fabulous flowers from IKEA. It's called Lusy crochet deco (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50154820) and I have used five sets to create this fresh table-runner.

Crocheted baby booties

These were my first baby booties ever! And they were ready in no time. For the 'how to' have a look here:

I varied the pattern slightly though to make it a bit more simple. After all they were my first baby booties...
