Two or maybe three years ago, this friend had discovered my ability to crochet. She then gave me a few skeins of yarn and told me to make something for her sometime. Well, I guess the time finally came! When the weather starts cooling off, I get the itch to do some crocheting and I happened to find a couple free patterns online that looked like a great fit for my friend and the yarn she gave me! So I started on a couple projects for her and her soon-to-be-born baby girl. I started working on a baby blanket from the soft white yarn she had given me, but it was taking longer than I wanted, and I wanted to get something sent, so I whipped up this cute little cupcake hat! I found a pattern online for one of these a couple years ago, but ended up modifying it a bit.
Here's the original pattern.
Do you like my model? Hahaha!
Eventually, I did finish the
baby afghan that I had started, and I think it turned out really nice! I had hoped to get it done a lot sooner, but life just gets in the way of crocheting sometimes!
I also made a cowl for her and made some fingerless gloves with the leftover yarn to match. I don't know why I did not get a picture of those, but
here is the pattern and picture that goes with it. Mine ended up fitting a bit more snugly than the one pictured.
The fingerless gloves I just winged it! Haha! I used the same stitches as the cowl, but to fit my wrists. When it got to where I wanted the thumb to be, I skipped enough stitches to fit my thumb through. After that, I just did a couple more rows and called it good!
