I’ve created this cute crochet baby bow headband to match the Pretty in Pink dress. There are a lot of crochet patterns for a baby bow headband, but I have not seen one that uses fold over elastic (FOE). Babies heads grow so quickly that I prefer to use FOE for a baby headband instead of crocheting the headband.
This headband will go well with Charlotte Mary Janes, as bows are almost identical.
Skills Required:
Basic stitches (chain, single and treble crochet, slip stitch)
Basic sewing
Yarn: Light worsted weight yarn.
Sample Shown in: I Love This Cotton (100% cotton; 180 yds [165 m]/3.5 oz [100 g]): #258 pistache (MC), #80 antique gold (CC).
Hook: US size G/6 (4.25 mm).
Notions: Yarn needle, 0.5″ buttons, fold over elastic (FOE), sewing thread, and needle.
FOE can be purchased in many craft stores or diaper sewing supplies stores. I got mine at Tuesday Morning.
This is a free crochet pattern for a cute crochet baby dress. I originally designed this dress for Crochet One Skein Wonders Baby Book, but it was sized for newborn and 3 month old only. My almost one year old baby girl really “needed” a crochet dress (yes, I have a problem, I can’t stop crocheting for her ;)), so I sized it up to fit 9-12 month old as well.
The pattern in the book is called Pretty in Pink, p.89.
The dress is worked from the top down. The buttoned front piece makes dressing easier, and the buttons add charm.
Sample Shown in: I Love This Cotton (100% cotton; 180 yds [165 m]/3.5 oz [100 g]): #258 pistache (MC), 2 skeins, #80 antique gold (CC),1 skein.
Hook: US size G/6 (4.25 mm). Or hook necessary to obtain gauge.
Notions: Yarn needle, four 0.5″ buttons.
Gauge: 15 dc and 8 rows = 4″ in double crochet. Two pattern repeat and 7 rows = 3.5″ in skirt pattern.
Note on gauge: If you just want to make a baby dress and do not have the particular size in mind, then proceed without checking the gauge. To achieve specified sizing, check your gauge.
Free crochet pattern for a Pokemon baby hat, Pikachu beanie. This is a great beginner friendly pattern since the hat is worked in continues round without joining.
Those crochet two strap baby booties will be a hit at any baby shower. They are very addictive and it’s hard to make only one pair! Depending on the color and buttons they could be great for a boy, girl or both. One skein of yarn makes two pairs!
Because of a star stitch this pattern is not recommended for a complete beginner. But an intermediate beginner or advanced crocheter will find it very interesting and fun to crochet.

Note on gauge: If you just want to make a hat and anticipate a recipient to grow into it then proceed without checking the gauge. If a certain size of the hat is desired, make sure to check your gauge. You can either make a gauge swatch (recommended) or measure stitch gauge in the last crown round.
