Crochet Granny Square Baby Jacket

Well Angie has been at it again, she has put a hold on her son's knitted jumper and taken up the trusty crochet hook. Angie is to be a Grandma once again and what little baby wardrobe is complete without a little something made by Grandma.

The wonderful pattern that Angie found by Patons listed a wonderful assortment of coloured wool, but they were more for a little girl and this baby is a little boy. I caught up with Angie a few weeks back and helped her find some colours more appropriate for a little boy.

It had been a little while since Angie had made this many granny squares but as you can see, she got straight back into the swing of things.

All laid out, not a bad choice of colours really. Now the fun part, stitching them all together.

The back of the jacket all finished.

Front of the jacket all finished, now to tidy all the loose ends. 

And there you have it, one adorably cute, granny square jacket for a little boy, complete with a bow to keep it together. All it needs now is the beautiful baby boy to try it on.

Simple Crochet Finger-less Gloves

We came across a wonderful and simple pattern for crochet fingerless gloves, with it being Winter and our hands being forever cold while working, we thought it a wonderful opportunity to try out this cute little pattern and see just how simple and effective they are.

Periwinkle Mitts are what they are titled, if you have confidence and already know the simple techniques of crochet then you are sure to be able to make your own gorgeous pair of Periwinkle Mitts.

Periwinkle Mitt in progress

There are only really 4 rows to this pattern which you then repeat 5,6 or even 7 times to get the size you need to keep your hands nice and toasty. The thumb hole is very easy to put together too. We would encourage all intermediates and even beginners to have a go at this wonderful pattern. 

The pattern says to use 2 balls of 50 gram 4 ply yarn, with our mitts we used 12 ply to give it extra warmth, plus we liked the colours. Of course if you are using thicker yarn, be sure to use a more appropriate crochet hook.
