Steve decided that he wanted the baby's "take home" outfit to be an Ohio State outfit. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that knows him. He bought some onesies while in Ohio this past weekend. Since the baby is due in October, I thought that the baby would also need a coat and hat to complete the outfit.
I found a great little hat and coat online and thought, "Hey, I could maybe make that." I'm a very beginner crocheter. I'm still very much learning.
Well, last night I bought some yarn and needles and got to work. It was very hard to find some baby yarn in non pastel colors. The red and gray are not "official" baby yarns, but they are still soft. I think the finished project turned out pretty good though.
Now, on to the coat. That looks much harder. I've never made anything besides hats or blankets.
Our rainbow bear was a great model.
Nice work on the crochet project! Crochet is lots of fun. Once you get the hang of it you can make up your own patterns. I have crocheted since I was about 8 years old, although lately I'm focusing on learning knitting. Must be so fun to make things for your coming baby! xo
