2 Cuddle Sacks with matching Hats

Well, I started crocheting a baby blanket but loss interest very quickly. I had skin cancer removed from my arm on the 10th and with 15 stitches, my arm was very sore, so it has been hard to crochet. Most of the pain is gone now but find it its easier to crochet cuddle sacks as they are smaller than blankets. So here are my lastest two sacks with matching hats. The blue one with front post stitches is the new Lions Brand Pound of Love in Bluebell. The yellow I crocheted using my Sweet Baby cuddle sack pattern in Honey Bee also new from Pound of Love yarn. Next week I have more skin cancer removed from my neck, hopefully it won't keep me from crocheting.

Quick and Easy Baby Blanket for Just Crochet

I finished this baby blanket today. It is from Heather at Just Crochet. As the name says, it was very quick and easy to crochet. I used Red Heart Sweet Baby. The color is called Whisper. I changed the border somewhat as I didn't want to crochet the extra 3 row. Kept it quick and easy!
