 Welcome!
Everyone wants to make something special for a new baby, and a
ae handmade gift is just about the nicest gift you can give to a family
~ member or a friend. Whether you are crocheting for your own child,
€ 6 ;
your grandchild or great-grandchild, or for a friend, you are sure to
‘Pagel ee oe i Bi find projects in Oh Baby! Crochet that will express your love and, at
the same time, create heirloom treasures for years to come.
re ee.
a
And while you have your hooks out, it’s a good time to remember
those going through traumatic times with their little ones. During
zy

times such as these, it means a lot to the family just to know that
pe
someone thinks enough of their child to take the time out of their
busy day for someone they may never know. Donations of hats,
blankets and booties that are quick-to-stitch are much appreciated
by your local children’s hospital or women’s shelter; these items are
such a comfort for a baby born prematurely or with other health
problems.
In Oh Baby! Crochet you'll find 65 beautiful designs ranging from
quick-to-stitch to more intricate patterns.
The book is divided into four design-filled chapters. The Pretty
Baby chapter includes a frilly dress for her, an heirloom-quality
christening set for him, and matching his-and-her striped sweaters
and hats. Baby Essentials has patterns for bibs and hats in all
shapes and designs, a diaper cover and much more. Cuddle Baby
is brimming with beautiful blanket and pillow sets and includes
adorable papoose wraps. Baby Gifts is full of quick-to-stitch items
including slippers, headbands, pacifier holders, edgings and the
cutest little puppy and kitty you've ever seen!

We hope you have as much fun stitching these projects as we did

putting this book together for you.
Happy stitching,

Connie
