Giraffe Cocoon Crochet

Giraffe Cocoon Crochet

I bought this pattern from Sandy's Cape Cod Originals. It uses Worsted weight yarn. I used I Love This Yarn! from Hobby Lobby for the gold ( #156 Sungold) and I used Caron Simply Soft ( #9750 Chocolate) for the trim. I didn'y like her spots so I made mine more like flowers, since this is for a little girl.

The Mary Janes are a free Pattern Designed by Abigail Goss. It's super quick from Worsted Weight Yarn, so matched perfectly.

You can find the pattern here.

Another terrific pattern from Yahoo group, Monthly Dishcloth. I love looking at all the differnt variegated yarns that the members used. This yarn came from one of those big kits at Hobby Lobby with 3 Large Skeins. This pattern was surprisingly easy.

Crochet Superstar Baby Blanket

Crochet Superstar Baby Blanket

I finished this quick Baby's afghan in just a couple days. The pattern is poorly written, but if you have made a couple Round Ripples you should be safe. There is no Rnd 8. I used Bernat Softee, with 2 balls of #30301 Baby Pink Marl and 1 ball of #02000 White. It is a free paper pattern at their store.

If you can't find it I have it here.

and the second side here.
From point to point mine ended up being about 25 inches. I used a Size G hook, and had enough of the white yarn left to do another afghan.

I wrote a tutorial hoping this will help.
