PostPosted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 9:05 am


ok i will start with a simple pattern:
THIS IS A CROCHET PATTERN
BABY SCRATCH MITTS

THESE MITTS MEASURE
APPROXIMATELY
3-1/2" INCHES
FROM CUFF TO TIP
MATERIALS:
Hook: Size F
Yarn: Bernat Baby Fingering Weight Yarn (this yarn is 3 ply but very thin)
Yarn Needle
Cording or Ribbon (2-12" pieces)
Sewing needle and coordinating thread
Stitches used: ch, sl st, sc, sc dec, dc.
BL = Back Loop
Gauge: 5 sc per inch.
Difficulty: EASY

(Don't forget to make 2 ;o)
BEGINNING AT WRIST
RND 1: Ch 30, join to form a loop being careful not to twist the chain. Ch 1, Do Not Turn. Sc in each ch around. (30 sc). Do Not Join, Place Marker.
RND 2: Sc in BL only of each sc around to marker. (30 sc) Reposition Marker.
RNDS 3-9: Repeat Rnd 2.
RND 10: (Sc Dec over next 2 sts) around. (15 sc) Join with sl st to 1st Sc Dec made.
FASTEN OFF leaving an 8" tail. Thread yarn needle with the 8" length of yarn and weave the needle in and out of the stitches on Rnd 10. Draw the opening closed and fasten off.
NOTE: to get a different look turn the mitt inside out before drawing the opening closed.
< CUFF >
RND 1: Reattach yarn in any unworked loop of the foundation ch. Ch 2, dc in each unworked lp around. (30 dc). Join with sl st to beg ch 3. Sl st around post of beg ch 3. Ch 3.
RND 2: Bpdc around post of next dc. * Fpdc around post of next dc. Bpdc around post of next dc. Rep from * around. Join with sl st in top of beg ch 3.
ROW 3: Ch 4, Do Not Turn. Sc in BL only of next st. * Ch 4, sc in BL only of next st. Rep from * around. Join with sl st.
FASTEN OFF.
< TIE STRING >
I used a shiny cord for the tie but you can use a crocheted string or a ribbon. Cut a 12" piece for each mitt and weave it in and out of the stitches on the first row of the cuff. Using the sewing needle and coordinating thread, stitch the center of the tie string in place so the baby cannot pull it free from the mitt.

sorry i cant post a pic but i will keep trying heart

Fast Baby Blanket

Pattern:
Use worsted weight yarn and an H hook
Chain 93 very loosely
Work 1 triple crochet, do 2 in third chain from hook skip 2 loops, do a single crochet skip 2 loops, do 5 triple again repeat across, turn and return.
When I got the blanket to a square I did a trim of large shells on the edges, first I did a chain 3, skip one loop, double crochet, chain two, repeat, do this on all four edges.
Then do the shell pattern like the blanket itself, around all four edges

CROCHETED BABY SOCKS
THIS IS A CROCHET PATTERN

Abbreviations used:
st - stitch
ch - chain
ss - slip stitch
sc - single crochet beg - beginning
tog - together
RND - Round
Adjustments for other sizes
I want to thank Nancy of Walkerton, Ontario, who tested this pattern for me and came up with these adjustments for the preemies and 6 - 12 months socks. I designed this pattern for Nancy's charity group, The Guardian Angels of Canada.
For preemies - use a 3.00mm hook. In the foot rounds only do 3 rounds before you begin decreasing for the toe shaping. That is, follow the pattern up to RND 7, then proceed with RND 15. You can also use baby's fine wool and follow the pattern exactly and it will come out the right size for preemies.
For the 6-12 months - use a 5.00 hook and follow the the pattern without any changes.
SOCK TOP
Ch 15
ROW 1 - 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each ch to end. (14 sc)
ALL STITCHES in the remaining rows are through BACK LOOPS ONLY.
ROW 2 - 1 sc in each 14 sc, ch 1, turn. (Note: do not count the ch 1 in your stitch count on all rows throughout the pattern.)
ROWS 3 to 28 - Same as Row 2.
ROW 29 - (Joining row) ss to join Row 29 to Row 1. Turn inside out.
You now have a tube shape of ribbing. To start the foot of the sock, with right side facing you, ch 1, 1 sc at base of ch 1, 1 sc along each end of ribbing rows, ss to join to first sc at beg. (29 sc)
HEEL - ALL Stitches are through BOTH LOOPS.
ROW 1 - 1 sc in first sc at the base of ch 1, (remember, ch 1 doesn't count in the stitch count) 1 sc in next 13 sc, ch 1, turn.
ROWS 2 to 6 - Same as Row 1.
ROW 7 - 1 sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc tog (twice), 1 sc in next 5 sc, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
ROW 8 - 1 sc in each sc, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
ROW 9 - 1 sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc tog (twice), fold heel in half with wrong side of heel facing you, (see the Adult Socks Pattern if you need to see a photo of how this is done.) ss the next sc to the 4th sc on this Row, ss the next sc to the 3rd sc of this Row, ss the next sc to the 2nd sc of this Row, ss the last sc to the 1st sc of this Row, ch 1, turn heel to the right side. Note: If you are still having a problem with the heel, Click Here to see a hand drawn illustration on how to do it.
CONTINUE WITH THE REST OF THE FOOT:
RND 1 - With wrong side facing, space 9 sc evenly along edge of heel rows, 1 sc in next 14 sc, place 9 sc evenly along edge of heel rows, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (32 sc)
RND 2 - 1 sc in next 7 sc, 2 sc tog (twice) 1 sc in next 10 sc, 2 sc tog (twice), 1 sc in next 7 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (28 sc)
RND 3 - 1 sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc tog (twice), 1 sc in next 8 sc, 2 sc tog (twice), 1 sc in next 6 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (24 sc)
RND 4 - 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (24 sc)
RNDS 5 to 14 - Same as Row 4. (24 sc)
ROW 15 - *1 sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc tog*, repeat from * to *, 3 more times, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (20 sc)
ROW 16 - 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (20 sc)
ROW 17 - *1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc tog*, repeat from * to *, 3 more times, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (16 sc)
ROW 18 - *1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc tog*, repeat from * to *, 3 more times, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
ROW 19 - *1 sc in next 1 sc, 2 sc tog*, repeat from * to *, 3 more times, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (8 sc)
ROW 20 - 2 sc tog 4 times.
Cut yarn leaving an 8 to 10 inch tail. Sew with darning needle to close up end. Secure closing and fasten off.
