baby layette set
About 3 weeks ago, I was gung-ho about making a baby layette set for my dear friend's new baby girl. But, it took me a while to settle on what exactly I wanted to do.
I did not like some of the patterns I had used for my own little one, and I wanted to do something new.
Thanks to Julie's pattern, the crochet sweater was a lot of fun to make. I sort of improvised on her pattern a bit and added shell edging at the bottom of the sweater.
Instead of a crochet blanket, I made a baby quilt. To complete this set, I crocheted a cute-sy hat with ear flaps, and booties :-)
Since most of the baby girl's gifts are pink or purple, I decided to 'shake things up' a bit and make a green set for the little one. But, couldn't help adding the pink touches;-)
