I finally found the owl cup holder I made. It was to be the prototype for teachers gifts last year. :) Well better late then never. I'll make them this year. My son's school mascot is an owl.

Crochet Baby leg warmers

Baby Leg Warmers! Aren't they cute. Still working on the sizing and curve of leg. WIP a pixie hat to match these and another set or 2 coming soon. No specific pattern yet. I don't have a baby handy to measure so I've been using sizing list I've found online to get the dimensions right. Should you have your baby to measure you can probably figure out the dimensions then. The top cuff would be your thigh measurement. Cuff done in sc in back loops. Measure also the length of the leg and the ankle measurement. I work from the top down. When the cuff is the right size join with slip stitches, if all one color cont around edge of cuff, otherwise fasten off and start new color. These are done in dc. You could use sc for better sizing or hdc would give extra warmth. The first 4 to 5 rows will be over the thighs and I wouldn't decrease any until after. Your decreases will happen in the middle third and maybe some of the lower third of the legging. 2 decreases per round is reasonable, as done here. My next post will show 3 decreases per round. it narrows much quicker. At the end of your last round chain 4, sc in back loop in 2nd chain from hook and in next 2, sl st in next st on last round, sl st in next st, turn work so you can sc back down lower cuff in back loops. repeat around. Your lower cuff will be 3 sc long. If that's too complicated faster off after last row and make cuff separately to sew on

 One of the alternate headbands packed with the Mermaid tails I made. There are 3 sea shells designs in the front and the back is a puff stitch. A small "bead" made from gold thread adorns the center shell

Plain white princess crown. Just another headband ideal

 More Baby booties. Same Red Heart Pattern. Completed to round 8 this time with no distinct edging I left the ends of the tie hang and added the flower colors to make a small tassel. The flowers can be moved as displayed with one on the cuff and the another on the toe of the booties.

The applique re small simple flowers and a leaf. There is a tie that is threaded through the stitches of the booties to place it.

The hat is another Red Heart pattern, scalloped baby hat, the colors in the example where a bit darker. I think that's what I liked about this hat. The color changes.

This is a small baby blanket, like a stroller blanket, done in yellow Bernat baby yarn. The yarn was in a huge ball, looked more like a big Easter egg and is chunky for a baby yarn. Which makes the blanket sooo soft. Its a granny style stitch. I got the yarn at Walmart when they were remodeling for $1 a ball. Just didn't know what to make with the unusual yarn. It wasn't hard and apposed to different working with the strange texture. I ended the blanket early just to be done with the project.. It is pretty and the baby sweater I was originally going to make with it would have looked and felt nice the stitch was just too tight for this yarn.

 I made a few accessories in a regular yellow worsted weight yarn and used the Bernat at trim to make it match. The bib is a variation of a thread bib by Annie's Attic I remember making years ago. I didn't write the pattern down as I went. It's just the center "v" piece with a flat boarder and the trim done in a sc, ch2, sc pattern to get a tiny ruffle. The collar was joined to the left side and worked up, then across top and back down right side. There is a crochet button for a closure.

I ran across an easy pattern on Red Heart for Baby Boots crochet Pattern. I didn't make mine as tall and added the little ruffle instead. ( I stopped pattern after round 7, then added trim) The only thing I don't like about these is the tie. It's hard to hide the ends of a single chain. The next item is a Nuk strap. One end goes thru the nuk ring and the other around the stroller bar or store kart. Again with crochet buttons. No more lost nuks. My son used to throw his and then cry because it was gone.
