Sometimes it's really handy to treat your blog as a way to record a few bits and pieces you've made, before you forget about them. That's what this post is all about, so if you're not interested in gifts for small people, you can stop reading now.
These are the
Dulaan Easy on Mittens (free on Ravelry). I made them as a 1st birthday gift for a friend of Baby Kestrel. They're designed for a child and recommended wool is worsted weight, however made in 4 ply they are a good fit for 1-2 years, I think. I quickly crocheted a cord using a couple of pieces of wool held together.
Toddler tote bag - birthday gift. I love the dogs
Selection of bandana baby bibs, made for babies born in the last few months. I use jersey and towelling so they are nice and absorbent - I bought some of the jersey just for bibs and some was left from other projects. I used this
Eternal Maker tutorial which includes a template, although my bibs have been altered after having made them several times and used them on Baby Kestrel. These make a great present as they're so useful and cute.

I can vouch for he usefulness of the bibs! Thank you again! The gloves and tote are adorable too.
ReplyDeleteI love the prints on those bibs! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to use up odds and ends of yarn and fabric. I have gone to charity shops and picked up hooded baby towels to use for the backing of bibs. I can pick up one for $1.00 and make quite a few bibs from it. If I buy terry cloth it would cost me about $8 a yard. I love those mittens.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. I would have loved such thoughtful and funky gifts as these when Sprogzilla was little. Nice way to use up fabric too. Xx
ReplyDeleteI love the bandannas - a baby came into the shop (carried by mother of course) wearing one and he looked very Spandau Ballet in it!
ReplyDeleteMini things! They're all lovely, handmade gifts say so much more than shop bought ones too.
