#1: Pineapples for Baby Easy Crochet Pattern

A little bit different, this baby blanket is crocheted in the round, with very few ends that require weaving in once you are finished. Although this blanket may look difficult to make, it is rated as suitable for an advanced beginner. It would make a wonderful christening blanket or stroller throw!

#4: Gerbera Cell Phone Charm

This charm is inspired by my book thongs. The entire charm was crocheted from one continuous strand of yarn – i.e. no joining of separate parts – hence its uniqueness.The charm can be detached from the cell phone strap so you can use it for something else, such as a bag charm.
