Just For Fun Friday Freebies
I'm feeling whimsical today so this week's Friday Freebies are some patterns for children.
Just for fun here's a funky Pirate Afghan from Caron Naturally. It's crocheted in squares so there are lots of variation you could make with this pattern, including pillow covers or a pirate flag for your favorite little buccaneers! I can't help but think this would be a great gift to start working on for a birthday or Christmas or??? Because it's worked in squares it's a really portable project too.
Now before you go saying you don't knit baby blankies, take another look at the lovely leaf lace pattern in the Cozy Luxe Baby Throw from Lion Brand. It's really really nice! I am seriously considering casting it on with fewer repeats and making a wrap out of it. The only down side is this pattern is written instructions, no chart, although it probably wouldn't be too difficult to make one with a bit of graph paper. It's a 20 row repeat with every WS row being purl - not too tough at all! It's all about thinking outside the box a bit - change up the yarn for a different gauge - how about using this stitch pattern on socks or a sleeve or ?? Be inspired! Cheers all! Enjoy!
