Recently in my friend's family, there has been a lot of new births. Off the top of my head I know there are 3 girls and 3 boys; but there are way more. All of these babies are infants except for one little girl who is around the age of one. My two friends and I crochet, and we are looking for some easy and cute baby/infant items (no sweaters please) to crochet.
The yarns we have:
Caron international Simply Soft Yarn in Autumn Red 4oz
Lion Brand Wool Ease Yarn in Fisherman 3 oz
Lion Brand Micro Spun Yarn in Lilac 2.5 oz
*Angel Hair Sensations Angel Hair Yarn- Multi http://www.joann.com/joann/shop/shop_tszoom.jsp;jsessionid=DDACC3WCJLPWKP4SY5DVAFR50LD3OUPU?path=http://63.210.199.180/04/72/9/47292.jpg.fpx * oz?
We only have one skein of each yarn. We need patterns that can fit the amount of yarn we have, please :)
We know how to do stripes, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, triple crochet, etc.
Thanks â¥â¥â¥

If you have cotton, you can make this toy:

I wouldn't use Wool Ease. The baby might find it scratchy and won't be able to say so. Might also be allergic, so save your Wool Ease for some other project.
You can also go to http://crochetpartners.org/Patterns/CPpat214.html and find a pattern for a flower... If you make a single crochet band, you can sew a little flower for the little girl.
:)
It's great crocheting for babies, isn't it?
Hope this helps!

BABY SHOWER!(10points)?
ahhh! its
what are some good games, ideas, and favors to have at a baby shower! thnx a whole bunch!
Answer
Here is a list I gathered from the web for planning my daughter's baby shower.....it contains many ideas...hope it helps.
1)Guess Mom's Tummy Size: (Materials- String or yarn and scissors) Have each woman pull the yarn to the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mother-To-Be's center of her pregnant tummy. After everyone cuts their string, compare the results to the Mommy-To-Be's actual tummy. Give a prize to the woman who is the most close! This is a baby shower favorite.
5) Guess The Gerber's: (Materials - Gerber's infant food, pads of paper and pens). Take the labels off of the baby food jars and have the women at the baby shower guess the food (carrots, peas, sweet potato). Most fun to play up to 10 jars of different kinds of foods. If there is a tie, blindfold the women and have them taste one of the jars and guess the right flavor to win their prize.
10) Baby Bingo: (Materials- Pens, Pre-Printed Bingo cards that use the numbers of how many people attend the baby shower) Prior to opening the baby shower gifts, number each gift on the box starting with one. If you know that 15 people will be attending your shower, pre-print bingo cards with numbers 1 through 15 and randomly place them on 15 cards. When the mommy-to-be's decides to open the presents, she grabs the present she wants to open and reads the number out loud. As soon as someone receives bingo, they win the baby shower game and the baby shower prize.
12) Guess the baby item: (Materials- any baby products and blindfold). A bag of baby items are placed in front of the mother-to-be for her to take one item out at a time blindfolded and tell her baby shower guests what item she has in her hands. This is really fun baby shower game when you choose some crazy baby toys or products.
24) Guess the Chocolate - (Materials- 5-10 diapers with 5-10 different types of chocolates). This game is one of the funniest and most popular baby shower games. Have the baby shower host or appointed person moderately melt 5-10 different candy bars separately, placing each one in a diaper to be viewed by everyone. Mark each diaper as A, B, C, D, etc. Have everyone guess which candy is in each of the diapers. Make sure to use some candies that have nuts, toffee, caramel, etc. You are sure to get great laughs!
55) Guess The "Celebrity" Baby (Materials: Celebrity Magazines, Baby Magazines, Poster Board, Glue) - Prior to the baby shower, go through magazines cutting out 15 different pictures of babies. Go through varies different magazines and cut out baby heads and celebrity bodies. Paste the baby heads onto the celebrity bodies. Try to use a variety of celebrities from different era's too as to accommodate the different ages of your guests. You can either use a giant poster board and paste the pictures onto it or you can paste the pictures to cardstock and laminate each one. Don't forget to number each one and write down the celebrity. Have each guest try to guess the name of the celebrity. The one who guesses the most correctly wins. Thanks to Trisha for this idea.
61) Baby Shower Onesies (Materials - Plain white onesies/different sizes. decorative permanent paints that are safe/non-toxic, cardboard) - Place small cardboard in each onesie as support and pass out the plain white onesies of different sizes to guests and have them write their names on the bottoms to dry shortly after guests arrive. During the baby shower, pass out the respective onesies back to the baby shower guests and have them decorate the front/backs of the onesies. The mother-to-be keeps the onesies and they serve as good memorabilia of the shower and a useful gift for the baby. Thanks Val
74) Baby Gift Bingo (Materials: Square cards with 4 or 5 squares across and down with pictures of baby items in each square - i.e., bottle, pacifier, blanket, clothing, diapers, etc - and a pen for each participant) - This is similar to bingo but is played while the mom opens gifts. Give each baby shower participant a square card with 4 or 5 squares across and down. The very middle is a freebie. All the other squares are filled with baby gift items that the mom may receive while opening her gifts such as pacifier, blanket, clothing, diapers, etc. Each card needs to be a little different in layout of the gifts and some cards have items listed that others don't. This way there will not be 5 people getting the bingo. The goal is to get a line of items across or down, sometimes if nobody is close then let the participants take the four corners as a winner. The person(s) with a line or bingo get a baby shower prize. This is fun for guests to do while the mom is opening the gifts and it keeps everyone involved. A great idea for our visitor Christine!
85) Watch What You Say - (Materials: Pen and Paper). This is just a game where laughter is the prize! While the mommy-to-be is opening her gifts, have the host or one of the guests write down everything she says while she is opening each baby shower gift. When she has finished opening all the gifts, tell the guests that you would like to read something to them! Say this is what the mommy-to-be said to her man the night she conceived the baby! Then read each little saying from the list! You will have everyone rolling in tears. Here are some funny sayings that was said at my sister's baby shower:
"Oh my gosh I've never seen one like this before!"
"Oh that feels so soft."
"Awe its so little."
Thanks to Kandi for this excellent baby shower game!
86) Name Tag Donation Game - (Materials: piggy bank, name tags, pins or two sided strong tape) Before the baby shower, make name tags for the guests. The names have to be baby-related like pacifier, circumcision, dirty diaper, burp rag, etc. Put all the name tags in a bag and as the guests arrive, each will draw a name out of the bag and pin it on their shirts. This will be their name for the rest of the baby shower. If anyone calls the guests by their REAL name, then they have to put a quarter or just loose change in the baby's piggy bank. By the end of the party, the baby has a great amount of money for their first piggy bank. This is a very fun and hilarious game. Again, thanks to Kandi for this wonderful idea!
**** I REALLY LIKE THIS ONEâ¦..BUY MAYBE INSTEAD OF PUTTING CHANGE IN A PIGGY BANK WE COULD COME UP WITH SOME OTHER âPUNISHMENTâ?
93) The Price is Right - (Materials: Baby products, index cards, pens and paper for each baby shower guest) -Like the game show, purchase 10 different baby items (i.e., baby shampoo, soap, bib, lotion, rattle, pampers). On index cards, write the price of each baby shower item and then randomly place the index cards in front of all of the items. Write a letter next to the price of each item and then have your baby shower guests guess by writing down the item that corresponds to the price. Each guest will write their answer on a piece of paper. The baby shower guest with the most correct corresponding prices wins a prize! Thanks to Carolyn for this wonderful baby shower idea!
My Water Broke!
The day before the shower, freeze diaper pins, miniature pacifiers, tiny plastic babies, or similar items in ice cube trays. Give each guest an ice cube in a glass of water or other drink. The first person whose ice has melted so that the frozen item floats freely in the glass shouts, "My water broke!" and wins the game.
Poopy Diaper WINS!
Get some pretty white napkins and fold each one to resemble a diaper. Get some cute stickers to adhere them shut or buy some diaper pins and fasten them shut. Anyway buy some chocolate pudding and add a little green food coloring to it for a really realistic look! Everyone will be stunned - eeewwww! Tape all these diapers underneath all the chairs the guests will be sitting in. Announce that they all need to look under their chair for a special surprise. The diaper or diapers (depending on how many prizes you want to give for this game & how many guests there are) that don't have the poop in it can have confetti or glitter, or write a funny saying on it, "no poop for you". Everyone should get a charge out of this!
OTHER SHOWER IDEAS
Baby Bottle Nut Holder (for serving nuts at the shower)
Required: Baby bottles
Purchase inexpensive baby bottles. Remove the nipples and fill the bottles with a mixture of nuts and mints. Replace collar on bottle and shake contents into hands. It looks cute on the tables and it keeps hands from dipping into a bowl.
Punch Bowl
Required: Baby tub, rubber ducks, and teething rings
For a unique looking punch bowl you could use the small bathtubs that they give out at the hospital, purchase a baby tub or use your normal punch bowl. Purchase baby items to float in the punch bowl like rubber ducks, toy boats or whatever theme youâre using. Purchase teething rings, freeze and use as ice rings within the punch.
