Ankle Bells!!!

Here is my new crochet obsession: Baby Ankle Bells! They are basically simple cuffs that easily slip over baby's foot with bells attached. They crochet up quickly and can pretty much be made using any crochet stitch. I made mine in the round but you could also crochet the cuff straight and then join it by sewing or a crocheted join. Honestly, they hardly warrant a pattern...but for kicks and giggles:

Crocheted Baby Ankle Bells Pattern
.........
Ch = chain
Sl st = slip stitch
Dc = double crochet
.........
Ch a length that will easily slip over baby's foot.

(To measure: gently wrap a piece of yarn around baby's ankle and then measure the length of that yarn, make your starting chain about that long)

Sl st to first ch to join, ch 2, turn.

DC into each ch around, *sl st to top ch from ch 2.

Ch 2, turn, DC into each DC around*

Repeat between * * until the cuff is desired width, sl st to top ch from ch 2 and fasten off.

Then as securely as possible sew bells to the cuff (I have made sets that have one bell per cuff and sets that have 7 bells per cuff...so just play with it!)

I have also added flowers or other motifs to jazz them up if that tickles your fancy.

These would be super fun for that day they discover their feet, new crawlers or walkers, dance time, and for keeping tabs on little explorers. Heck! I want a pair for myself! I think they are just so darn fun!

***PLEASE MONITOR LITTLE ONES THE ENTIRE TIME THEY WEAR OR HANDLE THESE PRODUCTS AS SMALL PARTS MAY BECOME DETACHED AND POSE A CHOKING HAZARD!***

Just a little crochet love!

I wanted to share a few photos of some crochet love...I will post links to patterns and shout outs to my inspirations as soon as I have a chance. But for now - enjoy!
