Another Baby!! =D

[LittleLionFlower]

My mom's best friend is my adopted 'cool aunt,' and she's pregnant for the first time since I learned to crochet. I want to make her something more fun than a blanket for the baby, any ideas?

sweaters, booties, dresses or suits. Of course these will all be outgrown, but since it's her first, she can use them for future. And there are toys and mobiles.

Lionsbrand has some patterns that aren't blankets. You have to be a member to view them but it's free to join up.

But there are plenty more on that site. Other yarn sites have free patterns too and there is always Ravelry as well.

What about amigurumi? Make it baby friendly of course but.... it would be something for a lifetime.

I made a mobile with flowers and butterflies for a baby girl. She really liked it. When she was switched to a "big kid bed" she still wanted the butterflies. So her mom took them off and used suction cups with hooks to hang them in her window. It's nice when someone loves your work that much .

I made a blanket and used the leftover yarn to make my best friends little girl a teddy bear I've also made a stuffed dog before. Toys are always appreciated.
