Pink Stars and Bunnies

Pink Star and her Bunny Love

I love stars, bunnies and the color pink. This baby blanket is for an arabic princess, and since my name in arabic means little star, there was no question on what shape I would make for her baby blanket, with matching colours I made a little bunny to go with it.  

The result is this beautiful crochet 3 colour striped star baby blanket, pattern by Bernat. Hook Nr 3.5mm, Lana Grossa Cool Wool Merino Big Superfein  Colours 601, 605 and 644. The brown colour looks darker on the picture than in reality. It´s also wonderfull wool to work with. You only need to pay good attention to the pattern for the first rows, the rest is always the same, you just need to keep an eye out for the hop overs in between the corners. The Bunny is self made and pattern improvised.

Work in progress

you really only need to pay attention to the pattern untill the first brown row, 

after that it´s pretty easy and the same. 

For a good crochet session, what is more lovely than to have a cup of coffee or like in this case tea. The geisha teamug with strainer was a gift from my little sister. 

Work in progress:

Crochet Rose Bookmark

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” 

(M.T. Cicero)

Combine those two and you will have a pretty rose bookmark to put inside your book.

Or use it for your next blind date like in the movie You´ve got mail (1998) when Shopgirl (Meg Ryan) brought a book and a rose to her blind date with NY152 (Tom Hanks).

How the rose was made & how to do your own

For the Rose: similar pattern can be found here

Green part of rose: chain 6 then form a ring, in the ring do several dc (20-26), next row do 9dc in same chain, hop over 2 or 3 chains and do a slip stich, then start all over. I got 4 pedals this way. I attached it then with the right sight out to the rose, to hide the bottom of the rose, here I also attached the chain.

Chain:  make a chain to fit your book, I chained about 55. 

Leafs: I did a leaf by chaining 8, then doing a sc, hdc, dc, trc, dc, hdc, sc on one side then on the same on the other side. But here is a nice picture tutorial for crocheting leafs as well. Do two then attach to the chain on both sides.
