Fit for a Little Man

The owner of the company DH works for and his wife are expecting their first child, a boy, in mid-April. Naturally, I had to whip up something special for the little tot-to-be. I absolutely love how this came out. I decided that a little boy needed a pull-over sweater and a pair of Levi's jeans. I used Red Heart Baby Soft yarn and Red Heart's Leaflet J17-0750 Sweet Baby Crochet for the patterns.

Afghan for a Special Little Person

I had picked up the Bernat Baby Coordinates Sweet Stripes in the Sprite Stripes at Hobby Lobby on the clearance rack for a few dollars off per skein and so I decided to use that. DH had been with me and had been convinced that I wasn't going to use it so I had to prove him wrong. This pattern came from an older worn-out copy of Leisure Arts Leaflet 2335 - Unique Baby Afghans to Crochet. It's quite a large baby afghan at 36"x36".

I really love the variation in this pattern. The chain loop braids are gorgeous too. I've made this one several times now and it's been so beautiful every time.
