Shells and Lace Crochet Baby Blanket Set

August 12, 2023 By

The Shells and Lace crochet baby blanket pattern set is surprisingly quick to stitch, and it comes with 3 accessories making it a great baby shower gift. This pattern set includes a baby blanket, sweater, hat and booties for newborns.

The baby blanket measures 27″ wide x 36″ tall.

The Shells and Lace pattern looks great in so many colors. We’ve stitched one in pink and one in blue. They are so sweet! The main stitch of the baby blanket is corner-to-corner with a twist. The edging is stitched in 5 rounds and it adds a gorgeous finish to the solid center panel.

Corner to Corner – C2C In Rows!

Did I mention this is a fun pattern to crochet? Sooo much fun.

The main pattern of the baby blanket is like corner-to-corner but better! This is worked in rows without any decreases or increases. In fact, it has a one row repeat. It’s made in a rectangle rather than from corner to corner. No more worrying about when to make a corner. This C2C stitch is worked back and forth until you have the length needed.

The blanket is a great project to work on while watching tv or at a ball game, because you just need to glance down every so often to work a cluster.

Shells and Lace includes a Newborn Baby Sweater

Yep, you read that right. The Shells and Lace crochet pattern includes a newborn baby sweater. It coordinates with the baby blanket with a bit of corner-to-corner stitching.

The collar has a bit of the crochet shell pattern found on the edging of the baby blanket, too.

Shells and Lace includes Baby Booties

Oh yeah. The fun continues with adorable newborn baby booties. The main body of the baby booties is single crochet, but the cuffs are similar to the shells edging the Shells and Lace Baby Blanket Pattern.

We’ve attached cute pink buttons, but we’ve also seen these dressed up with little daisy buttons, too. We recommend that you crochet the booties then take them to the store to select a pair of sweet and whimsical buttons.

Shells and Lace includes Newborn Hat

The set wouldn’t be complete without a baby hat! This newborn beanie is stitched in half double crochet and edged with corner-to-corner stitch. Yep, corner-to-corner makes a great edging! Who knew?

About the Shells and Lace Crochet Pattern

The pattern was written as part of the Twins Face Off in 2015 where Deborah and Dana each made a baby set and asked people to vote for their favorite. The pattern has not been modified.

The pattern is not written as a beginner pattern. There’s nothing complicated, but the pattern is a bit abbreviated which a beginner may find confusing. We assume one stitch will be worked in each stitch and only specify if multiple stitches are worked in the same space or stitch. For example:

  • “8 hdc, 3 hdc in next st”
  • This means to hdc in each of the next 8 sts, then 3 hdc in the next st.

This abbreviated version of pattern writing allows you to read each line more quickly and condenses the pattern.

Make a Viking Gnome stuffed toy with yarn and pin looms! This little plushie is 12″ tall to the top of the horns. He’s surprisingly easy to make. The step-by-step tutorial will show you how to tuck, roll, pinch and cinch pin loom woven squares and rectangles to create this iconic Viking gnome.

There are a lot of little details that transform a simple gnome into a Viking. Most notable is the horned hat. What makes the “ironwork” so realistic is the two colors of “metal” yarn as well as the rivets that are made from felt. The bright orange braided beard is also a can’t-miss detail that makes this tough little Viking so adorable. The axe and shield complete the iconic image of a Viking.

More About the Viking Gnome Pin Loom Pattern

This Viking Gnome Pattern, like our other gnome patterns, begins with a helpful chart listing the total number of pin loom shapes you’ll need for the project. This allows you to sit and weave all the squares and rectangles before you begin. Of course, you can weave them as you need them, or weave them all prior to beginning assembly.

There are two very small sections of crochet in this project. Single crochet (US terms) is used in both areas. The grey at the ends of the horns are crocheted, this is where the horn meets the helmet. The edge of the shield is also crocheted. This joins two pieces together and creates and “ironwork” edge.

June 13, 2023 By

Looking for a fun toy for the kids? Snakes are a blast to play with and they look great in a wide variety of fabric! This step-by-step sewing tutorial has printable templates to make a 21″ long snake. What makes this particular pattern unique is the eye hood. Some snakes have what appears to be a brow above their eyes…so we’ve added that feature to this pattern. It definitely gives this serpent an aura of invincibility.

The safety eyes used can make a big difference in how “sinister” your snake will look. We used various colors and sizes of safety eyes to demonstrate how that one little detail will impact the look of your stuffed animal.

What’s in the Snake Sewing Pattern?

This is a step-by-step tutorial with printable template. The template is at 100% scale so you’ll tape together pieces from 3 pages to create the 21″ long snake top and another 3 pages to create the bottom. Here’s what’s in the PDF pattern.

About the Statue of Liberty and the Gnome

Liberty Enlightening the World is a statue more commonly referred to as the Statue of Liberty. Libertas, the Roman Goddess of Liberty, holds a torch and tablet, and stands in New York Harbor. She is a copper statue, given to the United States by France, and dedicated in 1886. There is a broken chain and shackle at her feet symbolizing the abolition of slavery in the United States. Though this gnome only has 5, Liberty has 7 rays forming a halo that represent the sun, the seven seas and the seven continents. There are 25 windows in the crown for viewing the harbor (the gnome has 11).

This gnome has a simple construction with components added to it that represent elements on the real statue. For instance, the Statue of Liberty is wearing robe, the gnome is wearing a sash. The halo, or rays, on the gnome is a band attached to the hat. Little bits of felt create the windows.

More about the Hammerhead Shark Pattern

This pattern stands out from the rest because it includes all the little details that make this so realistic. It has all 8 fins common to Hammerhead Sharks and even includes the notch on the caudal (tail) fin.

The pattern includes 4 pages of templates. The body of the shark spans 2 page so the template pieces will need to be cut out and taped together. The template includes a 1″ scale so you know if it’s printing at full size. Reduce or enlarge the pages to make a smaller or larger stuffed animal.

We’ll include helpful tips throughout like where to start and stop sewing. What tools might make a step easier. The templates are clearly labeled and easy to follow.

The fins are made with a layer of felt or stabilizer which helps them stay rigid yet soft and huggable.

Hammerhead Sharks usually have a litter of pups…so you may need to make more than one!
