  45. For a friend&#39;s baby expected in August I wanted to make something rustic and useful, something that is unique... and so I crocheted a baby blanket with soft acrylic yarn, and sewed a swaddle blanket in soft cotton flannel print.
  46.  
  47. Of course, the crochet yarn blanket won&#39;t be needed until late Fall, but the swaddle blanket might be handy for the first few weeks...

  54. I crocheted a few hats for this winter - made-up patterns that are variations of the standard hat pattern.
  55.  
  56. The four here are each different from the other in some way - one even has ear flaps that provides the trendy chain mail helm look :)
  57.  
  58. Hats are the easiest to crochet - two ways to do it: from crown to brim or brim to crown.
