I know I mentioned this last time, but I am totally obsessed with Pinterest. I keep finding awesome recipes to try (that are super easy too!). And lots and lots and lots and lots of craft ideas.
My super amazing best friend is having a baby next month! So I decided I would attempt to make something for her new little guy. I did three "practice" coasters, and then I decided to make a baby blanket. Once the blanket was done I was feeling adventurous, so I made two pairs of mittens and a hat too. I think they turned out awesome. Here are some pictures:
I used single crochet for everything. I used this tutorial for the mittens, though when I made the first pair they seemed a little small (but I didn't have any baby hands to test them on), so I made a second pair with an extra 5 stitches around. I used this tutorial for the hat, but obviously mine was solid colored. To make the "magic circle" to start the hat I used this website.

Oh my gosh, these are awesome!!! Especially compared to your first potholder attempt :-). Your certain friend will LOVE these ;-). I'm just remembering the first time we crocheted together - Brenna and I had just learned how to chain, so that night at a sleepover at my house we taught you and spent the whooole night making huge chains. Can't wait to see what else you make!
