Beautiful Bow

Crocheting for a baby boy? Attach this to a simple single crochet cord to make it a bow tie. Stitching for a girl? Glue a baby hair barrette to the back and it’s instantly an adorable hair bow. These bows can even go on shoes as shoe clips. If they’re useful and baby just can’t get enough of them, crochet them in a few different colors.

Crochet Baby Booties

Baby booties are a traditional stitched gift for babies, but that doesn’t mean you have to crochet a pair that also looks traditional. Omit the embellishment for a pair that’s unisex, or add your own embroidered design. Flowers, stars, dots — there’s no limit to how you can customize these.

    I'm so tired of not being able to get to the patterns. I've wasted months of my membership. And it isn't just that they will be available soon. Some of them I needed now. So that means I have to pay another site to get them so I have twice the cost. I'm irritated.
