Since I started crocheting, I've completed several projects, and since I haven't made enough progress in my blanket to even give a new update regarding it, I will discuss my 2 most favorite projects I've completed for my hope chest.
J will tell you right away that we have a very distinct list for our hope chests. And I started out super great in following that list, but the more I looked on Ravelry, the more absolute adorable projects I discovered (including my blanket and a jumper I will discuss later on). And I kept telling myself, "Oh I will finish ____ project, then get back to my list" and I've definitely got completely sidetracked at this point. Yes, I have completed 1 sweater, 1 over night soaker, and a couple pairs of baby booties, but I've also made a scarf for myself, and a hat. But the proudest items I've completed for my hope chest are the two baby bonnets I've made.
The first I completed is a traditional style blessing day bonnet found here. I found that the project was simple but absolutely beautiful. I used NaturallyCaron Spa in misty taupe, which is one of the few yarns I use that is an acrylic blend, but I absolutely love how it came out:
The detail of the crown of this bonnet is adorable, and looks something like this:
The next bonnet I completed is called a pixie hat. It is adorable and is tied with a button around the neck. And there is a cute little point right at the top of the bonnet that makes your child look like a cute little wood nymph. I decided to make this project in Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton in spice which is simple scrumptious yarn that is super soft to the touch. It also came out amazingly and I will definitely be using this pattern over and over again as my go to gift for friends.
I find that the more and more time I spend on my blanket (which is a project I still enjoy and am quite proud of), the more I want to make pretty simple things. Lately, I've been craving this project which I want to make to hold all my wonderful in progress crochet projects.
Hopefully by next week I will have great progress to show on my blanket. Until next time, have a great day!
