Anyone use RH Baby Clouds

[allimac]

I am thinking of making a baby afghan for a future nephew but have never used it. It looks fluffy and I was just wondering if it was hard to work with. I am an intermediate crocheter.

Thanks for any input

if you pick a simple enough afghan.. it should work fine.. i have an afghan pattern made just for that yarn in a star shape.. however the booklet is at home... you could use..

I made one for my grandson...just started with a rectangle granny square and kept going until it was as large as I wanted - it is so soft and really pretty! It just takes a bit of getting used to - you'll want to make your stitches a little looser than you normally would. Hope yours turns out great! Dar

Thanks, I have a pattern in mind and it uses an N hook, so it shouldn't be bad, just can't make up my mind. Thanks again!

I used a combination of RH baby clouds and Rh light and lofty on a baby afghan. I was easy enough to work with. Two things though, I got very warm working with it and it shed a lot. But my sister in law loved it(and she's very hard to please:whew

I've used Baby Clouds yarn LOTS! I make bears and rabbits (stuffed animals) and also made baby afghans out of it too. It pretty much acts like Lion Brand's Homespun yarn, but cheaper in price!

Yep I have used it to make a baby blanket, I find it easy to work with. I actually use Lion Brands Terry SPun Ripple baby blanket for my battern but modify it a bit. Here is a link

I used baby clouds in light blue in "Basic Two-Stitch" from Crochet Fantasy April 2003 (I love this stitch!) and a big hook

It worked great! Soft and snuggly!

There's a picture of a baby blanket I made with RH Baby Clouds on my blog, if you'd like to look. I used a P hook, and just simple hdc...it's really lovely, and so soft and warm! :-)

I just recently made a baby afghan out of it for my new granddaughter. I think it turned out lovely, see what you think:

This was a modification from a babyweight yarn ripple pattern, took quite a bit of frogging to get it down to a manageable size. It's still larger than the standard baby blanket, but I figured little Abby can take it all the way into adulthood with her if she likes! :danc

Wow, thanks everybody for sharing their pictures of things made with RH Baby Clouds! We've been dealing with flu bugs in our house here for a while so I haven't been able to thank you until now. NICE WORK! I should be able to get going on my project soon.
