Description
Making adorable crocheted baby accessories is easier than you think! If you are comfortable holding your crochet hook, and have learned how to make at least one or two of the basic stitches, then Brenda will teach you everything else you need to know to complete these two projects! After all, one of the best ways to learn, is to create! Follow along with Brenda as she demonstrates all of the skills you need to make these one-of-a-kind baby gifts!
The Bunny Beanie features a warm folded brim and the cutest little bunny ears you ever did see! It is worked both in turned rows, and in the round, with simple shaping. Thoughtfully constructed ears make the sewing easy, with polished results. The carrot is such a fun companion piece to the beanie; making the most adorable photo prop as well as a practical teether. This toy is the perfect skill-building introduction to the amazing world of crocheted amigurumi.
With over two hours of clear video instruction, Brenda will lead you through every step of each of these projects so that you can successfully complete this super-cute baby set! Brenda shares plenty of tips along the way for choosing the correct size, understanding gauge, reading a pattern, keeping track of your stitches, and weaving in yarn ends. By the end of the class you will have added the following skills to your crochet repertoire: working in turned rows, working in the round, working through the back loop to make a stretchy ribbing, seaming with a slip stitch, stitching along your row-ends, simple decreases and increases, basic amigurumi skills, sewing skills for crochet and more.
As an extra bonus, the Bunny Beanie is sized from newborn through Adult XL so that every-bunny in your family can wear one; hello family matching! What’s that you say? Daddy doesn’t want to wear the ears? That’s ok- just leave those off for a great basic beanie! These projects will not disappoint! Be the envy of every baby shower guest when you gift the Bunny Beanie and Carrot Teether to your loved ones!
