W.I.P.-Teddy Bear Huggy Blanket

This is my first W.I.P.
Reading about other peoples projects, seeing their progress and the enthusiasm that shines through, when they write about their projects are very catching and made me want to share mine .
I always have several projects going on at the same time , but I'm only going to share one, at least this week .

The Teddy Bear Huggy Blanket  which I'm making for my grandson.

My progress so far :


I have crocheted the head, muzzle, nose, ears, neck and started on the arms.

When I had to decide which yarn to use, I decided it was time to try out acrylic, so I bought Jette from Hjertegarn.
I have always avoided using 100 % acrylic yarns, 'cause I don't like the feel of it, but this one is soft and there's a bonus : it's cheap!

I went with these colors (light blue as MC) :




What's on your hook/needles this W.I.P. ?

The cutest

grandson anyone could ever have, came to visit his grandmother.
 I don't get to see my grandson very often ,so I was very happy when my daughter and son in law asked if I would babysit for 2 days...
Those 2 days got extended to 4 days since everything went smoothly (they had stuff to take care of) , I'm a bit surprised at how smooth everything went. 10 month old and not once did he act up or seem to miss his parents.

I haven't really crochet that much in those days, but I did finally finish a dog for my youngest daughter. More about the dog here


Better late than never and I think he turned out just fine.
I made him in 100 % cotton worsted weight and a size 4 mm crochet hook.

I also made a beanie. A friend of my daughter asked if I could make one for her son when she saw  my grandson wearing his. I used  a 100 % cotton, Victoria  from Marks and Kattens. Double stranded and a size 10 mm crochet hook.

I bought the pattern at Craftsy here and it's designed by Busy Mom Designs
