My first project from this book was the Filet Rectangle Blanket. I crocheted the smaller size, with a G hook and some yarn I got at Big Lots, called "Baby Soft," by Canan. It is a very light blue, although in my pictures, it almost looks gray. I was a little disappointed by the wonkiness of the middle section, but it will still keep a baby warm. ;)
Then I decided to make a sweater to go with it, and adapted a pattern by Laura Tegg called Chunky Monkey Cardigan. I modified the pattern to match the filet, and did a reverse crochet edging, like the blanket.
This pair will probably go to a church mission project.

They are both beautiful, one lucky baby! I love the designs.
ReplyDeleteThese are so dainty and sweet. You made these? I'm really impressed :) So nice to meet you (from the Friendship Friday Blog Party)
ReplyDeleteI just love the little sweater, it's so sweet. I had a peek at the book and it looks wonderful. Car blankets are so useful.
