Crochet Teddy Bear Baby Blanket

26/11/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Crochet baby blanket patterns, Crochet blankets 18 Comments

I finally finished the pattern & tutorial for this Teddy Bear Baby Blanket! And I really love how the little white bears blanket turned out!

At first, I had totally different color combination in mind. I tried on different colors, but when I finally found the perfect combination, I didn’t manage to find one of the needed colors. So, I had to make a plan B. In the end, I think that the plan B turned out pretty nice.

This 21 page pattern includes:
* Step by step instruction on how to make teddy bear square, circle square and border
* Step by step instruction on how to join squares
* Written pattern for granny squares and border
* More than 90 photographs
* 6 Crochet charts and diagrams

For this blanket I used 100% cotton yarn (“Tango” from St. George), and 3.5 mm crochet hook (USA E – size 4) Finished Size: 33.5″ (85 cm) wide; 41″ (105 cm) long

This is a table of contents page from the pattern.

Crochet wrist warmers

01/11/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Other crochet projects 31 Comments

I intended to make wrist warmers for a while, since I saw these beauties, and when the cold weather arrived, I took my crochet hook, some beautiful yarn, and made these warmers, in a day, last Sunday.

For these warmers I used 100% cotton yarn “Cotton cable” 95m/50g from St. George (manufacturer from Serbia who unfortunately doesn’t sell online) in worm, autumn colors. I really love how they turned out.

The pattern is wonderful. It’s very simple, which I particularly like.

Now I’m thinking of making a matching scarf using the same colors. Maybe something with flowers.

Christmas is coming. Have you thought about making some presents, yet?

I think wrist warmers are great Christmas gift to someone special.

Autumn glory crochet scarf pattern

I finally managed to finish this Autumn glory crochet scarf pattern!

I really don’t know why it took me so long to finish it. Actually, I finished the scarf a long time ago, but writing a pattern was much more complicated and demanding part. It also wasn’t help that I had eyes inflammation, which was so hard for me. I couldn’t crochet, use a computer, read or watch TV for several days. And even when I was better, I had to be very careful to not bother my eyes to much. It was hard.

I like how this pattern turned out. I like it because it’s simple, but decorative, and join as you go method is very convenient, because you don’t have to join your motifs in the end. When you finish your last motif, you’re actually done! I like that.

I wanted the pattern to be easy to follow even to beginners, so I include step by step tutorial on how to make and join squares, with more than 40 photographs, and 3 crochet charts (which I think were responsible for my eyes inflammation) My favorite part of this pattern is the colorful crochet chart for the square. I really like how it looks!

Also, it is easy to achieve a nice color combination with this pattern. And the possibilities are endless… I think that this pattern is very suitable for a baby blanket. I can imagine soft and cozy baby blanket in pastel colors like those above.
