There is something so satisfying about crocheting baby clothes. They work up quick, don't require a whole lot of yarn and their tiny nature makes them instantly adorable. This is the Angel Wings Pinafore from Bev's Country Cottage. I cannot say enough good things about this website! Tons of free patterns for all things crochet and despite my out of control collection of crochet books and magazines, it is always the first place I go for baby items.
This pattern was so quick and easy to follow, and only used about a half a skein of yarn. I made a second one with the other half for another girlfriend who is expecting any day now! I decided not to seam it up like a dress and put a button on it so that it can be worn open and used for layering.
And of course I couldn't go with making her something with just one type of craft I'm currently obsessed with...I had to do a little stitchin' for her as well! Found this lovely little cardigan for a great price and couldn't wait to fancy it up!
This was my first time using interfacing to stitch on stretchy fabric, and honestly I don't know why I waited so long! The image came from the awesome book Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray which I'm sure I've mentioned before because I love that book so much! How about a close up?
Makes me feel happy just looking at it!
Congrats again to Ruby Murray and sorry for the spoiler as the cardi hasn't been shipped yet!
Oh yay!! I'm glad to hear baby has arrived. Ruby Murray is so sweet an so talented :).
