These were made using the pattern Nursery Hearts in Crochet with Heart magazine, Feb. '97. The one on the left was done in green and yellow (the colors don't show up well in the picture, but it's more pastel). The one on the right was blue and white. These are individual squares sewn together. Lots of ends.

This pattern was reprinted in A Year of Baby Afghans, Book 3, #3143 (Oct. 1999) which can be purchased from Leisure Arts web site and also from Country Yarns, Jennie Gaskin's shop

Here I used the same basic design from the pattern Nursery Hearts in Crochet with Heart magazine, Feb. '97  but worked the hearts in vertical strips, to give fewer ends to sew in. I used blue and white in the ghan on the left and yellow for the one on the right. The yellow one was 35" x 40" with worsted wt yarn. The blue was worked with

This is the Baby Love and Prayers afghan, put aside for one of my future grandkids. It was a lot of work, but well worth the end result.

This ghan was made in Jan 2004 for Katie Paige Roberts, new baby of Zac and Stephanie. I used an H hook and the Shell Stitch pattern in Weekend Afghans. I chained 129 and worked 6 shell patterns to make this baby size. Finished size was 38" x 40".
 

This is a double sided flannel blanket purchased from Hemstitcher and edged in crochet using #10 multi colored thread. I put a round of sc in the pre-punched holes and then went back with a (sc, ch 2, 2 dc, sk 2) border. It is suggested that you fold over the serged edge, but I did not fold it over.

This one is plain old granny squares, worked in pink and white with a pretty border round it.

This is a second pattern using the puff heart from BL&P to the left, but worked in vertical stripes, rather than horizontal.
 

This blankie was crocheted for a sweet little girl in Alaska, Samantha. The pattern is Keepsake Cover-Up in Quick and Cozy Afghans by Leisure Arts. The actual pattern is for a baby blankie, worked with a K hook, but I used a G hook to make it a smaller doll blankie. It works up fast. I made the two blankies in four days from start to finish. Samantha's blankie was made using Wool Ease yarn.
 

This doll blankie was crocheted for Samantha's sister, Darby. It uses the same pattern as the green one, Keepsake Cover-Up in Quick and Cozy Afghans by Leisure Arts, but Red Heart yarn.

This baby afghan was made with Caron Sayelle lt fir green. The pattern is Keepsake Cover-Up from Quick and Cozy Afghans. I used a J hook instead of a K. It came out about 32 x 38 1/2" with the shell border around it. It works up really quick and is very pretty IMHO. The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, but it looks nice in baby yarn also, but I would increase the foundation chain for baby yarn or it will be very tiny. I made one once with a G hook and it was only 22" wide. It was for one of my daughter's dolls. (She loved it.)

To increase the foundation chain without figuring out the multiple, just make a chain a little bit longer than you think you want it and start working the pattern. When you get to a good stopping point, just go on to the second row. You can undo any leftover chains later. Note: This only works if the first row is the actual pattern row and not just a single or double crochet row.

This is the SAME basic pattern as the Double X-Stitch at the Cabana. The Rosey Peach Baby Afghan is single strand and uses one row of double crochet between the XS and hole rows. It came out about 35" square. The color is actually soft peach, but I find it has a rose tint, hence the name.

Same color but this one is the Rosey Peach Box Stitch. It's 37" square and worked in the straight box stitch as Samantha's Box Stitch Afghan
