My mom requested that I make a baby gift for a co-worker of hers who is having his first child. My general rule of thumb is that I must be inspired in order to create. I know this sounds super artsy-fartsy, but the fact of the matter is that everything I make is made with someone in mind even if the final product never ends up with the person that inspired me. Therefore, it took a moment to gather the inspiration for this piece. But I got it!
Second rule of thumb: I can do custom work, but if I am making a gift for you (mom) at no cost I get to pick. This includes colors and style. My mom was very cooperative with this piece. This is what I came up with. It is a newborn’s swing jacket with a yellow flower “brooch.” My mom loved it. I also crocheted a simple headband to go with it, but I haven’t found the perfect flower to attach to it yet. I am looking for a yellow flower possibly a silk daisy. Who knows? Pictures to come when it is completed!
Welcome baby Carothers! A cocheted swing jacket for your arrival.
This is the flower, and a more detailed view of the stitching.
