Little Shruglets

My childhood family friend in Edison, NJ, has a new member in her family. Mia. Aint she cute? And chubby. Her brother, Gerard, thinks so too. So all chubby babies deserve a little "shruglet."





So I made a little shrug for Mia. It is a 6-12 months size (those babies grow so fast. I cant keep up). I have got hooked onto this pattern--I have a lot of worsted yarn, and this pattern is a basic template for a top down baby crochet sweater. I am making several versions based on this pattern (Yap. Get ready).










Pattern: Crocheted Baby Sweater
Yarn: Bernat's Denim Style in white
Hook: 5.5mm
Modifications: I did not work the sleeves after I connected the body. The sleeves are little "caps" now. Also, worked fewer rows for the body.

Thank´s for ur comments on my blog. I hope u´ve had a great new years and holiday season. I think the shruglet is just so cute! it looks like the same pattern i used for the baby cardigan without sleeves. You´ve inspired me to have a go at making one without the sleeves for lena to wear in summer.
