Charity Baby Square - rugalugs motif

[cupcake]

I have noticed that charity crocheters are always on the look out for something new and nifty to use for making charity blankets, rugs etc. I have been on a square binge lately ala my "rugalugs fun motifs for kids rugs" series which I have shared on other threads. This includes the penguin, koala, duck, and kangaroo whcih are on my etsy store. I decided that the next one I would do would be a freeby with the intention that it be used for charity. I have called this one tentatively "Charity Babies Square". When I have perfected this, written it up and done the Australia - american translations etc, it will be on my blog.

 

 

I have designed a little baby girl in a bonnet, and a baby boy in a hooded hat.

 

 

There will also be a plain square to use as a filler. I have tried to make this one fairly simple to do and economical with the yarn. Except for the faces, you could use a variety of scraps.

 

 

So what I am after is feedback.

 

a) Do you like these? Shall I keep going or bin the bubs? My boys reckon they look ugly and a bit granny like.

Trying to get a good skin colour is hard.

 

I did try a darker yarn.

 

 

 

b) What would be a good name for these? I have tentatively called them Charity babies, but I am open to suggestions.

 

I posted this under charity, although it is design, as I felt this where the likely user group would find me.

 

Thanks for looking.

Its a very worthwhile project so I hope that you manage to do lots! Jax
