Tomorrow (or possible super early Tuesday), we will have a new niece! It’s my SIL’s third child, but with two older boys, this little girl will have no choice but to be spoiled with girlie clothing and accessories (she’s the first granddaughter for my in-laws).
Beautiful Baby Headbands
I made her a few spring-inspired headbands…
For the first one, I used baby pink yarn (2 double crochets per row, chain 3) and made a cute hot pink and orange ribbon flower to add. Originally I thought about crocheting the flower, but I like the visual mix of textures.
Her second headband was made with lavender yarn (1 half double crochet, chain 3) embellished with purple ribbon with white polka-dots.
The third headband was crocheted with baby blue yarn (3 double crochets per row, chain 3) and I added a turquoise and lime green flower printed ribbon.
Finally, the fourth one was crocheted with lavender yarn (4 double crochets per row, chain 3) and I added a dark purple and hot pink ribbon flower.
I wanted to make a fifth headband (light green with baby pink and lime green ribbon), but the craft store was out of the color.
Pumpkin wanted to learn to crochet. Since I’m a righty and he’s a lefty, it was a little more difficult to learn and he gave up quickly. Maybe when he’s older we’ll give it another go (or maybe his lefty Aunt B will teach him the next time she’s in from Scotland)…
Any new family members on their way to joining your family soon?

Absolutely adorable! Congrats on the new niece! I hope that her mother is doing well, too!
Thanks!
These are super cute.
And, yes, my cousin and his wife are expecting in April. (We’re hoping for a girl.)
Praying you have a blessed day – {Lorna}
Thanks Lorna,
If it’s a girl, maybe you can make her some!
If I knew how to crochet.
There are some really simple videos on youtube of each stitch. When I started, I learned one stitch from a friend and self-taught the rest.
Cute!
Thank you!
Aww these are so precious!
My oldest sister just told us that she’s expecting in October! I’m betting it will be a boy since she already has a girl and the “1 boy, 1 girl” ratio seems to be a theme in my family (both my sister and brother have 1 son and 1 daughter). 🙂
That’s fantastic!
Those are really cute. Congratulations Auntie! Super talented you are. No new additions to my family expected anytime soon, but I do have a few friends expecting.
Thanks! Friends’ babies are great additions to your chosen family!
These are adorable and so simple! Some day when I have a daughter, I’ll make one to match every outfit!
🙂
Those are great!
Thank you
Those are really so sweet! It’s funny, my daughter is the only girl for our family (for now, DB’s GF is expecting…) She was the girlie girl who wasn’t afraid of a rumble. Still is come to think of it…
Congratulations!
Thanks! Oooh, so a baby on the way, how fun. I was always a girlie girl tomboy too… Yes, I wore dresses and loved dolls… but I also liked to get my fingers and toes muddy and climb trees.
A few months before my older nephew was leaving for boot camp – she was chasing him around a plaza with a moth shouting “You’re gonna be a Marine – Get USED to it!”
Just like old times. SHE chased the boys with worms after a rain, NOT the other way around, hehe.
Haha, funny. 🙂
Don’t give up! Sit next to each other and have the inside arm be the hook arm. I’ve taught plenty of right-handed crocheters that way- you focus on what your inside and outside arms do. Facing one another is too confusing because then you don’t get a good idea of where the yarn should be infront or behind the hook, etc.
I was thinking about using a mirror and having him follow the reflection… he just thought it looked easier than it was. Don’t forget he wasn’t ready to learn to tie his shoe laces until he was 6…
Beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂
