Benedique's Crocheted Beanie Giveaway

Eek! Not a project update. My projects are still in their work in progress boxes, collecting dust. Bad procrastinator as usual. But it's so cold recently and all I want is do lazy stuff. You know, read books, surf online and watch movies. I know, lazy mode for this mommy.

But before you decided to skip on this entry, look at the cute crocheted beanie below. Don't you wish you have that little thing on your daughter's head? I know you want to. And it could be your (or my) lucky day to take this cutie home if you join Benedique's giveaway.

Confection Baby Shrug

An old project made for my little girl.

For this free knitting pattern, I use a locally made cotton yarn called Monaco and a US 5 circular knitting needles. This baby shrug was made in August last year. It fit her perfectly well but it's a bit tight on her now. That didn't stop her though from wearing it from time to time. I'm planning on making a bigger version for her. I'd like to try and use a different yarn this time. Something that is stretchable so she can still use after a couple of years. Hopefully, I'll get to find a yarn that is perfect for this project.

Any suggestions?
