Twinkle, Twinkle Baby Star Bundle Blanket

      I found this free pattern for this cute newborn star shaped baby bundle blankie on Pinterest (Pin It). I just had to make this for a family member whos baby is due really soon. I used a very soft pink yarn by Red Heart brand yarn. This is perfect for bringing baby home because of course your baby is a star...lol. I have this particular one listed in my Etsy shop. The pattern design is by Darlene Cutler. I had to make it a little bit bigger than what the pattern called for which was 20", now its 24 ".

Let me introduce myself.....



YMCA Craft Show 1999

Hello everyone, & thank you for reading my crochet blog. I would just like to introduce myself.. ..I'm Lavinia, a mother of three wonderful children, part-time business student from Northern Michigan, & the owner of  Lavinia's Crochet. I have been crochetting for more than 30 years! I learned to crochet at the age of 10. I really enjoyed watching my grandmother crochet afghans, dolls, and other cute little stuff.  After she past away a year later, I was inspired to learn all that I could about crochet in her honor. Thank you so much Grandma! R.I.P.

I then began to go to the library to read up on how to construct all the different types of crochet stitches, & work on my yarn tension. I started making little dolls, my favorite dolls I'd make was the Kewpie dolls and pillow dolls. Once I taught myself  how to read patterns, I began to writting my own pattens soon after. Later, I began selling these dolls @ my church by the age of 14.

Currently, I sell online and at various local craft shows. My mission in the crochet world is to teach children how to crochet and knit, as well as willing adults. I plan to accomplish this by publishing how to crochet books for beginners that will be easy enough for kids to read and understand. In the near future there will be' Lavinia's Crochet How to' videos to let them see that they can do it too!
