There is one happy Little Lady in our house. We have been having fun playing with our dollies this week. I finished the little dolly blanket the other night and since then there has been a hive of activity around the wooden goose pram Little Lady got for her birthday all those months ago. She is very much a girly girl and loves her dollies dearly. Spending hours looking after baby is her favourite thing to do.
You might also have noticed the Rabbit I made Little Lady a while back features in a few of the pics today. Rabbit has now got all his limbs and ears firmly secured with chunky buttons and is a happy little chap. He still needs something to wear though...
I used leftovers of Stylecraft Special DK in meadow, plum, pomegranate, turquoise, saffron, lavender, fondant, sherbert, with cream as the main colour and using a 4mm hook. It measures 49cm by 31cm with 35 little squares each with only 3 rounds measuring 6cm square each. It was quite a quick project only taking a few evenings in front of the box but lots of fun to make too. A nice break from some of my other bigger projects.
The pattern was from this book, Cute and Easy Crochet by Nicki Trench.
I didn't follow the pattern exactly as I wanted my
little squares to be quite tight and I made the edging up as I went
along using one round of dc first followed by two rounds in htr stitches.
It's a lovely little book with lots of very vintage and retro ideas for
crochet. Took me a while to get going with it but now I have mastered
the basics of crochet I can whizz through these patterns easy peasy.
Best be off now for more playtime... Thank you for visiting today. Come back soon!
