Purse cradle for Ally

[benee16]

I finished my purse cradle and posted it to my blog along with a few other things I've crocheted fairly recently.

Great job on the cradle purse/hat! Gotta love little kids & their imaginations! Love all your crochet!

She is adorable. She is just telling you to make her a hat to go with the cradlepurse.

Love the little doll bed purse. I made one yesterday to and took it down and gave it to Emily already.

 

 

Where did you find the little dress patterns you have on the your site? I would like to make Mandy some but can't find the patterns.

Here are some books that I've used as a baseline

 

Crochet sweeties summer book 1340, by american school of needlework (I think)

Also sometimes there are dresses in crochet and crochet fantasy magazines. I think crochet fantasy has a jumper in its current issue. An indian one, but I'm going to adapt it to just a jumper without the frills on it.

 

I also have some vintage dress books which is the base of her bday dress, but the dress was to open for my taste so I adapted it. Plus I try not to use needles that are too small because it just takes to long to make clothes for a child that will grow out of it so fast.

 

The purple jumper was my creation using tunisian crochet for the skirt part, then switching to half double crochet for the top part.

What an adorable girl she is! I totally agree that she's trying to tell you she wants a matching pink hat Wish I had someone with a little girl so I could make a doll cradle too ... it's enough to make me start playing with dolls myself

Adorable burse cradle. Love the precious little one holding it.

 

Noticed she was a Dora Fan.

 

You do some beautiful work. I wish my granddaughters were closer. Of course if they were, I would never have any stash.

[sleevelessinsu]

I love how it works as a hat too. She's a cutie and I love your work, very pretty.

[sem464]

Great job on everything. I have to admit though, I loved the pic with it on her head. Made me laugh out loud!

[Seneca and Scooch]

The picture of it on her head is too cute! What a little sweetie!

Cute! I love those crib purses, my aunt had one that I got to play with as a kid and eventually adopted.

 

[Terri/LadySorce]

That is cute, and very typical of the child.. LOL

[zeropixie]

I like the size of the purse, I have only seen these cradle purses really small. Great stash buster project. I'll have to remember to make some of these for gifts.

[creativegoodness]

aw, that looks so cute! Bet my 3 year old would love one, she is so into babies...and love your daughters hat version...

[sewcrochet4fun]

Very pretty.....now here's an OT question....How do you keep your floors so white?!?!...LOL:drool

[benee16]

Its not easy with one almost 2 and a boy thats 4.5... and a black cat!!! The floor goes from the foyer through the dining room, and through a hallway a bathroom and finally ends up it a really large kitchen. So there is a lot of sliding, pushing of boxes and push toys, etc on this floor, and dh and I trying to keep it presentable.
