Apology for bad picture.  Best one I had.

I wish I had a good picture of the all white set
so that you could compare them.
It was really sweet,
but the COLOR
makes this set

FABULOUS!!!


The pattern is in my
The Complete Guide to Thread Crochet
book.

If you'd like to look at it, click on my favorite resources page at the top and then click on the book.   Amazon might have some of the pages up for you to look at.  The book has one baby set, the beige sweater I made, as well as lots of other fine projects.

Crochet Thread Floral Baby Bonnet and Bootie Set-Pink & Black


I am SO excited about the colors I used
this time with the Baby Set in the
Leisure Arts #3225.  

And I will continue
to experiment with colors for it,
so STAY TUNED!

This is how it all started:



I chose this one:



And here are the end results of
this thread crochet decision:



The bonnet is assembled in an interesting
manner, beginning with a rectangle and
working decreases to create the back.





I think the black ribbon sets off
the flower motifs nicely!



In the words of Lightning McQueen
(which my boys just happen to be
watching right now),

KA-CHOW!!!

I was SO excited about this color
combo that I made TWO sets.

One for Allison Kay,
my new great-niece.

And one for Eliza Jane,
daughter of a family friend.

Out of the great loves of my life,
thread crochet and fresh babies
are in the top 10 list.

So when I can combine both,
YIPPEE!!!

As I said, STAY TUNED
for future color installments.

Up next, PURPLE COMBO!

(All thread is size 10
used with a size 7 hook.)
