The girls sent me the picture. It was obviously made with scrap yarn and seemed a simple pattern. So, I set to work looking for a pattern. I finally found one on Lion Brand's website (here) that I liked and looked relatively easy. The next step was finding the perfect yarn, especially since my daughter's friend didn't know the sex of the baby. We ended up with this:
It is Hobby Lobby's Crafter's Secret Ombre in Honey Rider. I am in love with this yarn!
I started this project back in July, but it was literally my procrastinating that caused it to take until October to finish it. It is a very easy pattern to work (just single and double crochets). Here's a few 'work in progress' pictures:
But it's finally finished! Please excuse my use of a stuffed pig as a baby. My daughter's are all grown-up and they don't have any baby dolls.
So, there it is, all finished! Needless to say, I am not charging $100. I am asking $35, which covers my materials and time. I don't want to price my creations above and beyond what someone like myself can afford.
