C2C baby blanket



My latest creation! A baby blanket in gray, white, and navy. I loved the edging and the look of the blanket! It measured 32"x42". I used greybeard from Hobby Lobby and the navy and white from Redheart Yarns.

scarves


I love making a scarf to go with every outfit!  These are super simple to make. 

Use a speed hook, or a S Hook.
Chain 9.
DC in the 3rd chain from the hook. DC in each stitch (7)
Chain 2, turn.  DC in each stitch.
Repeat until length desired.  

I make mine as infinity scarves, so I slip stitch them together after reaching 60 inches.

Trivets

I was making different items for wedding and graduation gifts and this is the one thing that I think everyone needs - a trivet!!!  The free pattern can be found here and if you are a crocheter and haven't joined ravelry, do it now!!!  It is an amazing resource for patterns, free and paid, that you can use everyday.  The fun thing is that you can make it in any color that you want. Just always remember to use cotton yarn, acrylic will melt.  My favorite yarn is Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton, but I also use Peaches and Cream or Crafters Secret.  Crafters Secret is a lower priced yarn that is also made by Hobby Lobby that is a good yarn, just not as soft as I Love This Cotton.  Here aresome pictures of the trivets that I have made.  Let me know how yours turn out!

Dishcloths

I am always looking for new ways to make dishcloths!  I love the fact that I have my own dishcloths that last forever and that I can make to match whatever I am wanting it to match.  I have been making these dishcloths like crazy for wedding and graduation gifts.  These have a beautiful texture and look good in a single color or a verigated color.  They just give it a wonderful look and can accent any kitchen.  You can find the pattern here.  I have used I Love This Cotton, Crafters Secret, and Peaches and Cream yarn and I love the finished product with any of them.  :)

Granny Square Baby Blanket

I have someone who was having a baby and they went with a nautical theme in navy, pink, and white.  I had done a c2c and then a fluffy double crochet and was ready to try something new.  I found this gorgeous patten and decided to try it out.  I like the fact that you can make it larger to make a lap blanket from this pattern. I followed the pattern until it was the size that I wanted and then put the edging on.  I looked up a youtube video to understand how to do the edging and loved it!  Let me know how yours comes out!
