Creations, Crochet Cozy for Baby

A “cozy” is what I call a smaller version of an afghan

 

 

 

 

I recently made one for myself with a combination of leftover yarn I had from various baby blankets

 

 

 

It’s perfect for covering your feet and legs, without the bulkiness of a full size afghan or throw

 

 

It’s about 24″ x 48″

 

 

A standard size baby blanket is 36″ x 36″

 

 

I chose bulky yarn this time so it would work up quickly

 

 

My go to stitch is the shell, it’s fun to do and looks so pretty

 

 

 

I wanted to try a new stitch this time, and chose the V double crochet stitch

 

 

You can find a great tutorial here

 

 

 

Then I did 5 rows of single crochet on the long edges to finish

 

 

 

The soft fluffy white yarn looks like fur when it’s stitched closely together

 

 

 

 

A cozy is great for using in a stroller or car seat, this pinky orange one is about 24″ x 40″

 

 

 

 

Be sure to add washing instructions to your creations

 

 

I made this in PicMonkey, using one of their templates as a base and then I adjusted the colors and text

 

 

 

I folded it up and tied it with a pink polka dot ribbon and put it in a clear gift bag

 

 

 

If you like to crochet, I’d love to know your favorite stitch!
