Baby Kimono Wrap With Hood

My friend, Kandie wanted a one-of-a-kind sweater for her little one (size 18 months). She knows I love this stuff. :)



This is based on the Crochet Me “Baby Kimono Wrap” with a sc/dc stitch pattern. I improvised the hood from various patterns. I made an opening on each side for the tie to go through so she can wrap from either side.



The project took 6 skeins of Bernat Satin Ombres in Faded Glory with a G hook.

Perfect Pony




A few weeks ago my daughter spotted a Woody doll at a garage sale and had to have him. Of course she then requested Mommy make a horse for Woody. I accepted the challenge. I found this pattern online and set to work. My plan was to make the saddle and bridle and add facial features but she was quite impatient. She loves her new horse. :)
