1-2-3 Poncho-Shawl crochet - JoAnn Sampson

                                  (In Memory of JoAnn Sampson © 2006)


My daughter is 30 PLUS yrs old now, as has grown up wearing these poncho's as have all my Granddaughters.

These can be made for newborns up to XXXL if wanted, it depends on you and how big you want them (different size yarn & Hooks makes all the difference).

They are great with matching hats as well.

By not sewing (whip-stitch) up the front you can have a wonderful shawl, whip st up the front creates a poncho with a nice collar. Add fringe to set the accent on the bottom of this shawl/Poncho or scallops. You decide.

I pray you enjoy this wonderful Classic as we have over the years. ( Mom started making these back in the "early 1970's", and here it is the end of 2010 and I'm pleased to share this with you)



PATTERN:

1, 2, 3 Shawl/Poncho

(1 sc, 2 ch's, & 3 Dc's - all worked in ch 2 space from previous row)

For adult size: J hook

Ch 5, skip firts 2 ch, 1 dc in next ch, 1 dc in each of next 2 dc, ch 5 turn.Spip first 2 ch's, 1 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of next 2 dc's, (sc in ch 2 sp of previous row, ch 2, 3 dc all in same space), **ch 5 turn, skip first 2 ch's, work 1 dc in each of next 3 ch's, sc in ch 2 space from previous row, ch 2, 3 dc (ALL in the same space), sc in next ch 2 space, ch 2, 3 dc in same space ** Repeat to end of row

CONTINUE working this pattern until desired length, then you can finish off leaving enough yarn to whip stitch up the front or just finish off.

Great with fringe or scallops

This makes a Beautiful gift for newborns with matching hats & booties

Just use baby yarn or sports yarn with a size F or G hook (I like a G Hook) I don't add fringe for these, I use dainty scallops

Teddy-Ghan crochet - JesseAnne

                       {Created in Honor of our first Granddaughter JesseAnne}
                            "Comforting Babies, One Stitch At A Time"


Teddyghan measures 20" x 20" around, PLUS head

This pattern has been "completly re-written" by me (JMSQ) & work's up nicely for "both" a Preemie Baby & full term baby with "almost" the same results as the full size Bearghans which Pat Liles created. I so hope you enjoy using this pattern & Blessing your Precious Babies with the Love of a Teddyghan... God Bless 2004

Teddyghan Pattern:
Material's Needed:

1 Special Head Granny Square- Pattern Below

5 – 6” squares for body (Use your favorite pattern)

3 – half grannies – Pattern Below

Darning Needle


NOTE: "Full term Babies"
"H" hook for squares, "G" hook for face pieces

Use 8" or 9" squares, and add 2 rows #2 for head pattern, add 2 more rows for 1/2 Grannie as well, For the eyes , instead of hdc around with black, you dc around.For the ears, add 1 more stitch; And for the muzzle- because your are doing this for a baby you still can't stuff it, so you don't want it to be as big as the muzzle for the full size Bearghans, so you can leave it as written.

** Remember you are making the eyes bigger so the muzzle won't look out of place with the bigger head if you just drop the position by lowering it on the face 1 row

Hats for Headstart (Crocheted)

                       "Loving Hearts, Warming Heads, One Stitch At A Time"

                       
{Serving Christ By Serving Others}

                          PHOTO above: is {2008 hats for Headstart children }

What is Headstart?

Headstart is a ("Goverment funded") pre-school for low-income families.

It's a wonderful way for these children to get ready for school like all the rest of the children around our country and be able to keep up and not let their family's financial hardship keep them down.

Hats for Headstart is a way we can help these children. Every state & county has a headstart program. By making and "Donating" (always FREE of charge ) a hat to headstart you are helping to ensuring that these children are keeping warm durning the long cold winters. Instead of focusing on how cold they are they can focus on what they are learning.

I have a set date in mind for "our" donations. Sometime between Oct. 20th - 25th. We will donate to our local headstart the hat's we've made; (80 of them). Our headstart has 4 classes of 20 children- thats 80 hats.


You can contact your local headstart and find out how many children are in their classes and whip the hats up durning the year so when winter comes, you'll be finished and ready to GIVE cheerfully.


I have several X's & O's patterns available on my Qunique Pattern page (listed below) that I've shared over the years from place settings, to baby sets, May flowers & gift bags. Making up patterns using X's & O's is one of my favorite past times. Below is the one I've come up with for Headstart. I hope you enjoy using this pattern...JMSQ ©



Headstart X's & O's Hat pattern

{Special Stitches X & O Stitch }

ch 3, **sk 1 sts, 1 dc in next st, {to make the next dc go around back of st just made & into the front of prev. st making 1 dc} X st just made ** repeat around,

*** NOTE***
[Space "between" the X's, creates the O without you having to do anything to make the O st. how lucky is that]


*** SPECIAL NOTE ~ * Rows 6-8 ***
if making the X st scares you, you can still make the hat only using 1 dc of different color in each st instead of making the X st.

1 Peter 5:7

‎1Peter 5:7   Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


Carrying your worries, and daily struggles by yourself shows that you have not trusted God fully with your life. It takes humility, however, to recognize that God cares, to admit your need, and to let others in God's family help you. Someti...mes we think that struggles caused by our own sin and foolishness are not God's concern. But when we turn to God in repentance, He will bear the weight even of those struggles. Letting God have your anxieties calls for action, not passivity. Don't submit to circumstances, but to the Lord who controls circumstances.
