Baby Crochet

Here are some baby items I've recently made. I haven't seen a baby for a long time and I dont think I'll be seeing a baby soon. I made this for a friend who's friend is going to have a baby before the year is over. Based on average measurements these would fit a newborn up to 3 months baby.


I made it from Familia Acrylic Yarn, M, I think it is sport-weight. I used a 3.5mm aluminum hook.
Here are the links from where I got the patterns:
Baby Mittens
Baby Booties- I modified the pattern a little but I wasnt able to note it down :-(
Baby Hat by Sabra - found this on crochetville. She has matching socks and shorts too.
Infant Hat



This is a knitted infant shorts. I got the pattern from a special knitting for baby issue of Burda magazine 1991. I made it from Cannon cotton thread size 8 and used 3mm knitting needles. I knitted it several months ago and it took me quite a while to finish it. The socks - I just bought it because I couldnt knit a sock!

My crochet patterns for babies:
Appliques for baby items
Baby mittens - cotton

Cotton Baby Hat - from a free pattern found on the web
New Baby toy pattern for sale: Baby Fitness 101
New! Baby Girl set: Halter dress, hat and booties

    CL, for knitting they do have knitting machines, but for crochet only a crochet hook and a pair of hands can do it. I have seen some company websites wherein they offer lots of cool crochet items, and they also ship overseas. I guess they have a battalion of crocheters and I suppose most of them are asians, maybe some from Phil., where labor is cheap.
    I heard from a Monaco company employee that a lady used to buy boxes of crochet thread to make into bikinis which are being sold abroad.
    For now, I will be glad to take a few orders which I can make myself. I am planning to hire some crocheting ladies(if I can find them), so I can come up with enough items to have my own booth in a bazaar sale, maybe for next year;-)

    Thanks Kimberly! I'm so glad to hear from you again!

    Btw everyone, I would just turn off the word verification as I think its too inconvenient - sometimes the word is too loooong and then one makes a mistake and have to type again :-(
    I'll just delete the ugly spam comments as they come!

    Mimi, it would be very nice if they send you a picture of the baby wearing the set! So you can show better your beautiful work. Is a good idea, isn´t it?

    Oh yes Vik, I'd be so thrilled if they could send me pictures of the baby items worn by the lucky baby...hehe...but most of what I had made were for a friends' friend, and I was reluctant to ask for it.
