Babies Part two


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.

Make sure you knit the extra rows at the end and the sewing is a little different from the diagram so fold it before you sew the last part

This pattern took me a whole summer to do, (it took forever and didn’t come out perfect), but I’m pretty proud of it. From the front of the shirt, to the back it’s a rainbow. Based on this pattern https://giftofknitting.com/blog/how-to-knit-a-crop-top-free-knitting-pattern

Introduction I have two kids who I stay home with and pour my heart into. They are in 2nd grade and preschool. In, 2017, as a young mother of a toddler, I took advantage of learning how to knit from my grandmother. It was a great way to learn one of the skills she learned from her mother, my Nana, (who knitted, crocheted, tatted, made dolls, and much more.) I became very interested in knitting and my daughter was my little admirer. She watched me create items, saying Mama was “Making Yarn”. After awhile, I found it hard to find patterns for what I wanted to make. I decided to start a blog using the phrase “Making Yarn”, to  organize and share some of my projects. I hope this blog will inspire those who knit or crochet, or just enjoy hand-made items.
