Crochet Baby: Bow Tie & Diaper Cover with Suspenders.



I am a pinhead ( someone who spends way to much time on pinterest ). 
I get trapped in pinning countless things and then only do a handful of them. As for the things I have made, my latest pinning addiction has been finding cute baby items.

One particular baby outfit I found was this: 


I straight up took this picture as a crochet challenge! 

First I found a video on how to make a bow tie: 
This video is good for any level crocheter. 
Plus, I am huge fan of this woman's video. 




Here is My finished product of the bow tie. 
This is the first one I have ever made, 
and I must admit I don't think it is 
to shabby. 



Second, I made a diaper cover. 
I followed the same woman who taught me
how to make a bow tie. There are tons of 
videos on youtube for diaper covers and bow ties, 
but I have always found her to be very clear and 
straight forward. Here is the video I followed to make
a  crochet diaper cover. 














Thirdly, I made up a pattern for the suspender part ( which is a minor big deal for me as a newbie crochet artist). The pattern I used was beyond simple and any one could do it. 
The suspender pattern is chain 3, and then single crochet in those three for about 10 inches worth. Then, chain three and slip stich to create a small loop to attach to the button. Lastly, I  sewed the two buttons onto the diaper cover. 

This is my diaper cover and suspenders: 


















I also made a matching hat and slippers, but that will be
for another post. I cannot wait for this baby to here, so I can 
dress him up in the fun crocheted things I have made him. 

What are your favorite crochet baby items on the pin?
