bernat Pipsqueak yarn

[sassy0212]

does anyone have a simple crochet pattern using this yarn for a baby shower present? I bought it at walmart yesterday because I thought it was so pretty and soft, but after I started working with it - it is kind of difficult to see the stitches, but still love the way it feels. I'm open to suggestions. The baby shower is not this coming Saturday, but Saturday week.

Do you want to make a blanket? OR???? Shirley

[sassy0212]

really doesn't matter. kind of want something unique. blankets are always something that is given. any other ideas?

I have seen those buntings but I don't have a pattern. Perhaps ask in Pattern forum if anyone has a pattern? Shirley

I know I am slow to answer this one but I just wanted to pass along what I do with this type of yarn. I take a color to match of regular yarn and work up the specialty yarn along with the regular yarn together. It makes a nice soft fabric when finished. I don't try doing anything other then a DC with them though because the stitches are difficult to see and often a little hard to pull out if there is a mistake.

I have made several large afghans like this and everyone loves them, they are so cozy and snuggly.

Judi: I have to check out this yarn. I had in my mind it was something else. I think your suggestion is a good one! Shirley

Lili, I have used the other yarns like this and I like it. It gives strength to the specialty yarns (what I call them) and you still get some of the frills of it. I just checked and I do have some of the same yarn in my stash in white with a variegated baby yarn to go along with it, just haven't gotten to it yet.

Judi: That sounds perfect. Gives just a bit of bling to the blanket!!! Am going out tomorrow so will look at Joann's here. Thanks for the tip. Shirley

Great, let us know what you find.

I have made several Pipsqueak blankets. I crochet the diagonal one. Used a K hook. Went fast and you can "feel" the stitches as you go.
They are just yummy for wrapping a wee one in.
