striped baby blanket - crochet pattern

A brandnew baby blanket for Liam-Novi.

He just loves to sleep in his cozy bamboo crib under a blanket when he's with us.

You know I made quite some baby blankets in my woodwoolstool career, but making a blanket for your own grandchild is something completely different.

Liam loves colors and so do I, so that's a good thing.

Last year I made a similar blanket for his baby room when Pippa was pregnant. This striped baby blanket is square and an updated version and not the same crochet pattern as the natural baby blanket. It's a perfect crochet project to use up yarn leftovers.

You can find the renewed CROCHET PATTERN in my Etsy shop. Easy level with crochet chart, tips & tricks, in English and Dutch.

teeny tiny baby sweater - knitting pattern

The very first baby sweater i made for Liam Novi.

He is teeny tiny, so i made him this teeny tiny sweater that he can wear straigt away.

Last week i posted a photo on Instagram and got some requests for the pattern.

New in my Etsy shop, the knitting pattern for this super cute newborn baby sweater.

It's an easy to follow knitting pattern, also very suitable for beginners.

the knitted spencer - an ongoing trend

The ongoing trend of the knitted spencer!

Already in 2018 I designed an easy to follow knitting pattern for a checkered spencer. Remember the knitted checkered spencer? It's knitted in one piece, easy to make in no time.

It seemed a perfect piece in my wardrobe, so I made a striped version as well. Actually you can let your imagination run wild with this basic spencer pattern.

Last week I made another striped spencer, this time with diagonal stripes. I made it with yarn leftovers and because I ran out of yellow I also used some pink tweedyarn for the back piece, which I knitted in a freestyle striped pattern.

I love the color combination and the totally different look of it.

The spencer trend will continue this summer, it truly is a stylish item. You can simply mix it with anything. Wear it as a top or over a t-shirt with (long) sleeves or under a jacket or cardigan. It's perfect for the feminine look, with a blouse, skirt and heels, but can also be combined with pants, even with Adidas track pants ;-)

Mix, don't match. Everything is possible.

Everyone needs at least one spencer in their wardrobe! You can download the knitted spencer BASIC PATTERN in my Etsy shop. Available in English and Dutch version. It's really super easy.

PS: The lilac silk scarf i found at the Sissy Boy outletstore in Breda last week.

crochet top pattern

Finally it was warm enough outside today, to wear my new handmade crochet top and take some pictures.

You can download the CROCHET TOP PATTERN in my Etsy shop now.

I've worked out the pattern in a step by step process with lots of detailed photos (11 pages). The crochet top pattern is an easy to follow pattern and it is available in English and Dutch version.

Don't you think the white edge is 'très chic'? It's a subtle and sophisticated finishing touch.

All you need is about 150 grams of cotton and 50 grams for the edges to make your summer crochet top! Choose your favorite colour(s) and get started.

It's not difficult at all and it takes just a few days to make it. I'm already making a second one, this time a striped version.
