I have been using up mums yarn. There was a box of 5 ply. I like making the C2C pattern blanket. I wanted to make a rectangular sized baby blanket but instead of decreasing on one side I mistakenly decreased on both sides making it square. By the time I realised I was not going to unpick. I continued and finished the blanket.
My work colleague has a little girl so I am giving it to her for a dolly blanket.
Years ago, mum and I, used to make a little crochet bag that also made a dolly bed. I thought I would make one for her too to use up the leftover yarns.
It is made with an empty margarine container as the base.
Then a crochet lining for the inside
Next is the outer part of the bag
A nice frill for the top of the bag, a mattress, pillow and mini doll blanket
Put in a cute little doll/teddy
Here it is with the bigger dolly blanket
And the bag is closed ready to take and play
A very cute little set for a sweet little girl.

Beautiful presents for a little girl, that is a great idea.
The little dolls bed is just adorable! What a lovely surprise for the little one to find when she opens up the bag. Love the blanket too. xx
Beautiful crochet work, Jo. I love the doll’s bed idea - how pretty and clever! The little girl will be delighted when she opens the draw string and sees what’s inside. Hope someone takes a photo of her face when she sees what’s inside the bag!
