Crocheted Diaper Bag Baby Shower Favors

Baby Shower favors were crocheted in a triangle, secured with a stitch, diaper pin glued on, bags filled with candy and secured with a ribbon. Very easy and cute. Oh, of course, these were made for my Step-Daughter whose baby is due next month and it's a girl. Here are the instructions if you would like to try them yourself:

Use F hook, and any baby yarn. I didn't worry about gauge.

Row 1: Chain 26, dc in 3rd from hook and across row.

Row 2-4: Ch 2, turn work, dc across row (25 stitches)

Row 5-thru end: Ch 2, turn work, decrease st over next 2 stitches, dc across row until 2 stitches remain. Dec over remaining 2 stitches. Finish off.

Fold triangle and stitch closed. Glue on diaper pin and stuff with goodie bag. Tie to close.

Let me know if you have any questions at blarneypro@att.net.

Crocheted Walker's Friend Bag - Texas Style

This is an easy tote bag that I made for my Mom's walker as she needed something to carry her glasses and ID in. I got the idea from "crochetme" website and a design by Sarah Read. I crocheted the bag using a single crochet stitch (in the back loop only), creating a ribbed effect. I used Red Heart Supersaver yarn in the Texas flag colors as she is a new resident of the State. She loves it and now all her friends want one!
