A few crochet projects

Here are a few projects I have crocheted recently.



This is a baby blanket I made for one of my nieces when she had her first baby. It uses a very simple single crochet/chain one pattern called Woven Stitch and worked up very quickly.




This is a very thick cozy baby blanket I crocheted before one of my children was born. It is worked in a 2 double crochet/1 single crochet shell pattern called Ripple Stitch which gives it a nice texture.




I crocheted this pastel block baby blanket while I was expecting our second child, using a simple double crochet square with a single crochet white border. My husband was so sure the baby was a boy that he tried to convince me to leave out the pink blocks. I should have listened!




This is the afghan I crocheted for my younger daughter. It is done in the same stitch as the striped afghan above and in soft princess colors. So girly!




This is my son's afghan, done in the same stitch as my daughter's but in boldly colored even stripes bordered in black. Very manly!


I will be sharing these crochet techniques and patterns with you in the coming weeks and months. I am looking forward to providing helpful hints and video tutorials of how to begin a project and how to do individual stitches, so check back often!

Coming up next will be my knitting history and some pictures of recent knitting projects. Stay tuned!
