Crochet
Baby Afghans
It seems that as soon as
we hear the new announcement of a baby soon to be born, crafters
everywhere begin to decide what they should make in honor of the occasion.
I know, as a crochet enthusiast, visions of baby booties, bonnets, hats,
and layettes dance in my head. However, there is one item that all
crocheters (as well as knitters) can agree that every newborn needs, baby
afghans!
There are a number of
different stitches one can use to crochet baby afghans, stemming from rows
upon rows of single crochet, to granny squares joined together, or the
classic ripple stitch crochet baby afghan (a favorite of many). I
have gathered together a number of different crochet baby afghan patterns
that use various stitches and techniques to make gorgeous baby afghans.
The first stitch in particular that I want to mention is the Ripple
Stitch. I want to begin with this one, because it is one of the
stitches I have personally always associated with baby afghans. I am
including a You Tube instructional crochet video on how to make the Ripple
Stitch. The tutorial is easy to understand, and once you understand
this stitch, you may find that you really enjoy making Ripple Stitch
afghans. Here is the video:
I recommend that you practice making the
ripple stitch (the trickiest part of the Ripple Stitch is figuring out how
many you need for your project), and then trying some of the baby afghan
patterns. She gives a great tip in the tutorial that helps solve the
frustration of the Ripple Stitch. After you have created your chain
and begun your Ripple Stitch row, if you have any extra chains, simply
pull them out and weave in the ends. This is a great tip for those
of us who are a bit mathematically challenged when it comes to determining
the length we need!
