New Petal Baby Blanket and First Bear Crochet Pattern

Perfect for that new baby. Pattern includes detailed instructions for blanket (approx. 35 x 40") and a baby's first bear. Lots of pictures and tips to help you finish your blanket and bear. Bear has stitched eyes and blanket is soft and washable, perfect for lots of hugs. 

Sample was made with Caron Simply Soft Baby Yarn (lovely by the way) in Tiny Sprite, My Princess, Baby Pink and My Sunshine. You will need 3 skeins of Tiny Sprite and 2 skeins of each of the other colors to finish both the blanket and bear. Uses a size F (3.75 mm) and size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook. 

Skill level = advanced beginner/intermediate. Bear is crocheted in the round. 

Since a different color is used for each individual row in the blanket there are a lot of ends to weave in, but the ending results are worth the extra work.

New Simply Cute Teddy Bear Back Pack Crochet Pattern

What's New September 4, 2013

Now that our company has gone home and the house is finished, it's time to get back to work.

Besides crocheting, I love to knit and have had a couple knitting patterns in the making for quite a while, but this week I'm determined to make some progress.  Although I have several in the making, I'm pretty sure the first one I'll be introducing will be...a bear of course. So far so good, but still a long way to go. Hopefully some knitted "cuties" will be in the making soon.

Happy Knitting.
