crocheted newborn baby set.

ALHUMDULILLAH, the crocheted baby set that i was making using the pattern of mint green set from ravelry was a success. The pattern can be found here.

I made a few changes to it,

 

* instead of elastic bands i used a crocheted drawstring.
* folded and stitched the top crocheted few lines of the pant for the drawstring to go through.
* crocheted using two different colours.
* didn't add the edging of the cap because it was not suitable for a boy instead added a plain sc edging.

granny's sweater

Last month as it was chilling cold in india my granny asked me if i could try to make her a sweater, so i gave it a thought and attempted it. This is how it turned out. ALHUMDULILLAH it fitted her well and she liked it a lot.

the back of sweater

I started off using a pattern for a cardigan that i found interesting at http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/berme/berme.html but added a few touches of my own by removing the curves, sleeves and the biiiiiiiiiiiiiggggg collar, adjusting the width according to my granny's measurements and adding two lines of v-stitch in between of two contrasting colors (as you can see) and even adding the rose buttons.
