Two Cuddles Sacks with Hats

Here are two more cuddle sacks with matching hats. I used 3 ply yarn and a g hook. The pattern is the Twin Stitch. These are fun to crochet and go so fast.

Call The Midwife Baby Blanket

Here is another Call The Midwife baby blanket I finished last night. I used Pound of Love yarn and a g hook. Slow going as I have a very bad cold and not felt like crocheting much.

Ripple Baby Blanket and Diaper Set.

I used Lions Brand Yarn Ice Cream Scoop to make this ripple baby blanket, diaper shirt, hat and booties. The color is Lemon Meringue.

24 Chemo Turban Hats for a Special Project

I just finished the 24 chemo hat this morning. My cousins wife is a nurse at a Des Moines hospital and asked me to make some chemo hats to be donated there. I love the look of the turban hats so crocheted 24 of them. I made my own pattern after looking at several pictures. I used Simply Soft yarn and 4 ply baby yarn to keep the hats soft.
