A few months ago I got in the mood to crochet. I have made lots of scarves in the past, and I'm currently working on my 5th blanket. (By currently, I mean I've been working on this blanket for almost 4 years... For some reason, I just can't get in the mood to finish it!) But I wasn't wanting to work on the never-ending blanket, I wanted to make something fast. Something with an ending in sight right from the beginning. Lucky for me, in February, one of my good friends had a little baby girl. And in March, another good friend's baby girl turned 1! So I tried my hand at crocheting baby clothes. I had never followed a pattern for clothes before, so it was definitely an adventure. My first project was a little hat.

It took a few tries because I had a couple issues with the pattern, but it came out alright! I made the hat so quickly that I had to try something else. Attempt number 2 was an adorable little cardigan. This was definitely a challenge!!

The buttons were my favorite part of this one!! The yarn I used was SO soft. I loved it. I have some left over, and I'm thinking about making a scarf for myself this fall. :) My final baby project was a cute little dress. This one was probably the easiest of the 3 to make.

I really liked the iridescent buttons on this one, too. (The buttons are on the back of the dress.) Unfortunately, the hat and the dress might have been a little too small for the cute girls I sent them to, but maybe their mommies will have baby girls in the future who can wear them!! ;) I haven't made anything else since I finished the dress. Someday I will get in the mood to finish that blanket!!
