Crocheted Hat for 3 year old

One of my husband’s collegue order this hat for her niece. Same age as Tasneem with 19” head circumference. She wanted her niece to wear this for their trip to Taiwan next month. It will be chilly there although it is just spring time.
So, I suggested using cotton blended yarn because it has acrylic too, which will give warmth during their stay there. This hat has brim to protect against sun rays. It is also suitable to be worn in Malaysia.
 
I inserted ribbons and embellish with simple flowers using Nona acrylic yarns.

Crocheted Baby Set in Fuschia Pink

My customer saw the pictures of previous cardigans and after seeing the pictures of baby hats that I make on Cotton House Store facebook, she wanted to order a full set for her daughter.
So, this is it.
 

I used ladybug white color buttons to embellish the shoes.

The sizes for her order is for 6-12 months old. So, the finished sizes for the cardigan is 22”, shoes 4” and baby hat 16-17”.
I am glad that my customer is happy with the results.

Crocheted Baby Hat Again with Brim

I never use beanie or baby hat that was given as gift for my daughter to wear. The reason is that whenever she wears it, it covers her eyes. So, I am afraid that it will also covers her nose as well.
So, I make something more useful. Making baby hat with brim, to protect from the sun rays. Whenever we goes out, then, she will have protection against the sun. We do not have to open umbrella which is tedious to bring (if it just hot, no rain).
This time, I used cotton blended yarn white with salmon colors. I use 5mm crochet hook. The finished sizes is 15”-16”. Why I chose these colors, simple. Easy to match with whatever colors that are in her wardrobe.
I made another one too for her my niece Hamnah. Same age as my daughter.

Baby Hat

Let me just put what I have crocheted these past months. It did not mean that I did not do anything for my hobby, but there weren’t time for me to update this blog. Really, my second daughter needed me to always carry her whenever she is awake.
So, right now I am going to update whatever my creations for the last few months.
Tasneem’s hat, made using 100% Nona Acrylic (just want to try out the from the Japanese pattern book). The hook sizes state 5, but at that time I was not sure is that 5mm or just size 5 in Japan. But, unfortunately it is not 5mm as I was expected, it is size 5. So, I have to googled out to find what is the equivalent size for 5, it is actually 3.4mm, but I subsitute it with 3.5mm. Well, it turns out well and fits my 3 year plus daughter with 19” hat circumference.

This is my second daughter, Humayra. She loves to be cuddled. I made this using 100% acrylic yarn using 5mm hook. But, this was just for trial. Looks, how many colors are there in the hat. I wanted to finish up any leftover yarns. So, that I can fill it up with other yarns that I bought. Hehe.
The pattern for the hat is from the cocoon baby hat pattern. What I did is just make the brim with sc all around the hat for 4 times and made the ruffles edging using shell stitches.
I ended up adorned both hats using ribbons. Easy to insert it using very large needles and no sewing needed.

Sassy Style Sweater

It took months for me to finish up this pattern. Actually it only takes about 2-3 days of your leisure time to finish up this easy pattern. I bought this pattern at e-patternscentral.com. The instructions are for 2,4 and 6 years old. It requires using 2 strand of yarn together with 5mm hook, but I managed to use just one strand of Ilaria Viscose with 6mm hook, and can fit my 3 year old child easily.

Although the pattern say it is easy, but I am having quite a difficult time understanding the pattern, with the weird design (I never made this kind of pattern before, so there comes difficulty with each design).

Cream Baby Cocoon

This brown and cream baby cocoon and hat was ordered by one of my customers for her newborn after looking at the baby blue cocoon that I made for my daughter. Materials are using cream cotton blended yarn and camel brown cotton metallic. All are suitable for the delicate baby skin.
She wanted it for her newborn photo shoot session. So, I have to send it before her due date which I make it in time. Forgive for the pictures, not so professional looking, with lots of shadows and not so bright (lack of lighting).


The newborn hat, size 15 inches.

I hope that her newborn will look very adorable and cute in this cocoon.

Baby Blue Cocoon for Humayra

It has been long since I post new entry for this blog. I was just finish with my confinement and was very busy with the new baby and also needs to take care of my 3 year old daughter. This baby blue cocoon or papoose for newborn needs 4 ply of yarn to make it. I was using 4 cotton blended yarn with a size 5mm hook.

Actually it is 3 1/2 of yarns needed. After finished using the blue yarn, I used the white yarn remnants from making another white baby cardigan (which I do not decide whom to give it to yet).

After browsing the e-pattern central design, I decided to buy the pattern. This papoose pattern was published in an E-book titled “Oh Baby! Crochet”, cost to download $19.90 and I got a 10% discount for this e-book, which was very nice. As soon as payment being made, I could download it immediately. Imagine how thrilled I was to see and make this papoose. Even my husband said that it was really cute when he saw the baby picture in the cocoon.
About the pattern, it was easy to make, but needs lot of time and effort to finish it. Just using dc and sc throughout the pattern. I took about three days to finish it, of course, I only spend about 2-3 hours per day to do it. So, if you really going to make one, do not expect to finish it in one day. You need to set time to finish it by within how many days, so that you do not have to rush.

Oh my, I really love that she can fit snugly in it! This picture is taken when she is nearly two months old.
