Free Crochet Pattern: The Littlest Princess (or Prince) Baby Blanket

My husband's friend just had a baby girl and I whipped this up for that sweet, new bundle of joy. I love the texture of the middle portion and the lines of the border that you get by working in the back loops only.

You can make this blanket as big or small as you want. Use any yarn and corresponding hook that you would like, start with a beginning chain that is a multiple of 2 + 1 and make it as wide as you would like then repeat row 2 to reach your desired length. Follow the border as specified.

Even though I have this pictured in pink for a baby girl, it would be great for a baby boy too. I'm planning on making one in gray and one in navy for baby boys that are due to arrive soon.

This would even be great in a bigger size for as a throw.

Materials needed:

• 5.00MM crochet hook

• Cascade Yarns Pacific- Used here: 3 skeins of 06 Baby Pink

• Tapestry needle for sewing in the ends

Gauge:

• 8 hdc= 2 inches

Blanket:

2: Turn, Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), skip the 1st stitch, *sc in next, dc in next*, repeat from * to * across, the last dc will be made in the top ch of beginning ch 3.

NOTE: Make sure you are making sc in the sc of the previous row and dc in the dc of the previous row.

Repeat row 2 until you reach 24". Make sure as you go along that you are making all of your sc into sc and all of your dc into dc.

Border:
1: Ch 1, make the first corner by making (2 hdc, ch 3, 2 hdc) in the same spot, then hdc evenly down the long side of the blanket, when you reach the corner (2 hdc, ch 3, 2 hdc) in the same spot, hdc across the short side of the blanket, when you reach the corner (2 hdc, ch 3, 2 hdc) in the same spot, hdc evenly up the long side, when you reach the corner (2 hdc, ch 3, 2 hdc) in the same spot, hdc across the short side of the blanket, join to the 1st hdc with a sl st.

Free Crochet Pattern: Emerson Car Seat Cover or Baby Blanket

I love the concept of car seat covers/canopies. When you use a regular blanket instead, it is always falling off and you are constantly picking it up off the ground. A car seat cover covers and protects your baby for cold weather, rain, snow, bright sun, you name it and it hooks on the handle bar so it ALWAYS stays in place! I absolutely love it and if you have a baby in an infant seat, you NEED to make one of these to see how great it is. PLEASE REMEMBER, it is dangerous to have your baby covered up in their car seat for long periods of time. This cover is NOT meant for that. This cover is only meant to be used when you are walking from your house to your car, store to car, school to car, and the like...it is meant to protect your baby from rain, snow, strong wind as you are walking from the places mentioned above. It is not meant to be left on the car seat when you are driving, sitting somewhere, going to a long walk or stroller ride, or anywhere else for longer than a minut

Free Crochet Pattern: Valentine's Day Headbands

I made these adorable Valentine's headbands for my daughters. For three free crochet headband patterns and how I made them, see below! I saw the cutest heart headband floating around Pinterest and decided to make one for each of my daughters. The tutorial for the heart headband is here and the original heart pattern is here . But instead of using an elastic headband, I decided to use a crochet one. I made some of these last year for my girls to wear at Easter and they turned out well so I was excited to make more. Here are my hearts: For the red one, I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Scarlet with a K hook. For the darker pink, I used Red Heart Soft Baby Steps in Strawberry with an I hook. For the lighter pink, I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Pink with a G hook. All of the headbands begin the same way. If you are using 2 hair ties you have to join them together before you start joining the yarn onto the hair tie. If you are using one hair tie, you can beg

Free Crochet Pattern: The Greene Pom Pom Scarf

I have been working on fall/winter items for my kids lately. I came up with this scarf (there's a matching hat coming soon too!). I love the color block look. I showed my daughter yarn and asked her to pick out 2 colors and then I added the cream. I used Cascade Yarns Pacific here. I am loving this yarn lately. I have used it to make hats, blankets, amigurumi, you name it...it is quickly becoming one of my go to yarns. This scarf is super simple. I have written the pattern in 3 sizes but you can easily customize it to be any size you want. I use a pom-pom maker for my pom-poms but you can find a tutorial online if you don't have a pom-pom maker or if you want to make it without one. Materials needed: • U.S. I/9- 5.5 MM crochet hook • Cascade Yarns Pacific in 3 colors- used here: 37 Clover, 52 Geranium, 01 Cream (you can easily substitute any other yarn, your finished size may change though) • Tapestry needle for sewing in the ends • Clover pom-po
