Info :
Diaper Bag Assembly note: It is important that the bottom of the bottle pocket and the bottom of the side/strap line up with each other (8sc), and these should both line up with the 8sc at the end of rows on the main body of the bag which fall between the exposed front loops of Row 21 and 29. Make adjustments as necessary to align ends.
Assembly Step 1 :
With back side to back side, line up one of the stitch markers on the side/strap with the start of beige as in photo.
Assembly Step 2 :
Insert hook through the sc of the stitch marker, and through the first beige sc.
Assembly Step 3 :
Join Bright Pink yarn with slst and make first sc. (Remove stitch marker.) Continue making 7 more sc, being careful to match up your 2 pieces, sc for sc (8sc).
Assembly Instructions
- Fold the diaper bag waistband and sew the seam with 4 slsts through the beginning chain and last sc of Row 25, then turn the seam to the inside so it is hidden.
- Attach bottle pockets to the inside of the diaper bag aligning the bottom of the pocket with the bottom of the side/strap (8sc) so they line up with the exposed front loops of Row 21 and 29 on the bag body.
- Sew straps to the inside back of the shorts at an angle so they cross in the back; the chained end with 4 chains forms the button loop which attaches to 6mm buttons sewn on the front.
- Position sleeves on the shirt by joining yarn to the inside arm opening and crocheting 7sc across the top half, then work 7sc across the outside and additional sts across the bottom to form the sleeve; finish with two rounds in contrasting color and sew in ends.
- Sew the waistband ends of the diapers/shorts together with slsts; then continue to join the main piece for the body by matching stitch markers and sc-for-sc to attach sides and borders precisely.
- Finish the hat by weaving 1/8 inch ribbon through the ch2 spaces on Row 10 of the bonnet and sew the ribbon ends securely; attach hat ties to brim and sew ends.
Important Notes
- 💡Use the indicated hook size changes (1.5mm to 2.0mm) to maintain correct fit and drape for clothing pieces.
- 💡Place stitch markers at the start of rounds and at important stitch counts (for example at the 76th sc on long straps) to keep alignment when seaming pieces together.
- 💡When creating borders across ends, be sure to maintain one single crochet per row to keep edges neat and even.
- 💡Work yarn-under (x-stitch) for shaped items like the bag, shoes and bear for a tighter finish; use yarn-over (v-stitch) for softer clothes as noted in each section.
This Sweet Handfuls Babys Day Out set brings playful tiny fashion to life with detailed instructions and charming photos.
