Baby Crochet available on Etsy and Amazon |
For those who love to crochet, this pattern booklet by Lois Daykin called 'Baby Crochet' is filled with 20 wonderful designs for newborns and little toddlers.
The collection includes garments such as booties, a wrap cardigan, and practical & pretty bibs and bottle warmers. There are also patterns for soft toys and nursery decor, along with a crochet cushion and blanket set.
Teddy Bear Scarf and Hat
The teddy scarf and hat for a toddler is adorable. The scarf has pockets for tots to carry around little stuffed animals. This pattern is very easy to crochet if you do the simplest form (as seen in the image on the left).
There is an alternative version that has little teddy decorations that are crocheted and stitched on after the scarf and hat are finished (image on right). The little teddy bear motifs take a bit more crochet skill, but are not all that difficult and add a really cute finish, along with the bear ears with tassels, making the set truly TEDDY!
Nursery Decor
This pattern book also has cool accessories for decorating the nursery, such as a little rabbit diaper holder and a mobile of crochet hearts.
Soft Plush Toys
Soft plush toys for toddlers are also included in this baby crochet book. Choose a cat, a curly snake or some big soft crochet building blocks! Use simple bright primary colors for these soft toys, to catch baby's eye, or choose soft baby pastels. Any color yarn makes crocheting for babies fun to do.
