Mama Make Yarn

Babies! Part 2 Knitting for babies can be so much fun! And there's always another baby. A cocoon blanket is fun because it's faster than a baby blanket and it's like a mini sleeping bag. I also made baby booties and a poncho. The poncho is nice because it's easier than a piece of clothing. My friend put her poncho on her son for Cinco de Mayo.

Who doesn’t love a cupcake purse? This purse I made for my daughter with a little inspiration from those Shopkin’s toys/Real Littles (those little food characters with faces). https://www.moosetoys.com/our-brands/shopkins-brand-page/ I combined the bottom of a water bottle holder pattern with a cupcake hat pattern and then formed a flap for the purse. Cupcake Purse Pattern Yarn:  Sugar n cream. Colors: hot pink (base & liner), fleur de lavande (icing), country red (cherry) , tea rose (mouth) ***Be mindful that this purse starts knit flat, then is connected to knit in the round and back to flat. Remember stitches look different in the round than knit flat. ***Knit the bottom of the purse (section one) if you would like the purse 3D with a circular bottom. This will probably need something inside the purse to maintain its shape. If you would like a flat purse, skip to section two and simply seam the bottom*** ———— Section One: Bottom of purse Knit garter (stockinette if knit in r...
