Baby Cocoon

This is the other part of the crown gift.

Somehow, the pictures wouldn't capture the correct color AND the fuzzy texture, so you can use your imagination to combine the two. =)
The pattern came from this book.

Quick Queenly Crown

Here's my quick project for today. Hopefully another will be completed shortly.



This was a special order for a special delivery baby, and it was made based off of this pattern.

Lots of layers

We have a warm-up ahead!

I'm planning on staying indoors again today and working on a crochet project for my sister.

Perspective

We just restocked our Tylenol. Is it sad that I looked at the bottle and said to myself, "Oh! That will cover 25 headaches!"?

Just wondering.

Quick Project

Well, there have been many projects flying off my hooks since I last posted. It will take me a while to catch up! Recently, we had a nephew and a niece born into our family. Yay!!! Great excuse for baby projects galore! There have been Christmas gifts, doilies, my 2013 scarf, and special orders mixed in.

Here's a quick taste (and a bad photo) in the meantime. Hubby asked for this hat this afternoon, so naturally, I obliged.


50 points if you get the significance!

How Do You dc2tog?

How do you double crochet 2 together?

Method 1:
YO, insert hook in st indicated, YO and pull up a loop (3 lps on hook); YO, pull through 2 loops; YO, insert hook in next st, YO and pull up a loop (4 lps on hook); YO, pull through 2 loops, YO, pull through rem 3 loops.

OR

Method 2:
YO, insert hook in st, YO and pull up a loop (3 lps on hook); insert hook in next st, YO, pull through, (4 lps on hook); YO, pull through 2 loops on hook, YO again and pull through last loops on hook.

One of these methods just came up on a pattern I found and the other is what I've always done. It makes me wonder if I've been doing it wrong all these years or if there's simply another variation.

What do you do?
