Crochet patterns

After many requests, I have finally written patterns for some of my newborn photo props. I am so excited about opening a Ravelry store, just about as much as I was when I opened my Etsy shop 2 years ago. That's when I started designing newborn hats, cocoons, slings and baby blankets. The patterns are fairly easy to follow, and explanations of the stitches are included with each pattern. Plus, you are welcome to sell what you make!! I currently have 3 patterns listed for sale, two cocoons and one sling. They are available on Ravelry as well a in my Etsy shop in the Patterns section. I have a few hat patterns written, but they just need to be tested before I can list them for sale.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I want to thank everyone who commented on my last post about the ideal baby blanket size. A few preferred a smaller blanket, but most photographers would rather have a larger one to use as a backdrop. Since the yarn I wanted to use is quite expensive, a larger blanket may have ended up costing about $200. So, I went in a different direction and used my favorite yarn to make some new beanies and cocoons. I may take one suggestion and make a 17"x30" blanket in the future.

This is the Cream Fluffy Baby Beanie.

And here is the matching cocoon.

They are available in cream, tan and pink and all have a removable and repositionable bow.

I haven't completely abandoned the idea of making a new baby blanket. I've just returned from Michael's with a fresh supply of Bernat Cottontots yarn in green, blue and cream and I'm about to start making a checkered baby blanket. It probably won't appeal to photographers, but I'm sure it would make a lovely shower gift. I'll post pics when it's done.
