My Angie bunny patterns collection is growing to be quite a nice presentative collection. I have few of the clothing patterns on my shop and few as a free pattern here on my blog. Together they all became quite a nice varied and colourful collection. There are few more clothing ideas in my busy head that I plan to write down, somewhere in the future and I hope it’ll be somewhere really soon. Today I’m ‘gona’ write down the baby overall pattern here for you. IMG-20160103-WA0001 I originally crocheted the Angie’s baby bunny overall as my youngest sun had complained I only make Angie girls. He wanted to have a baby boy for his own. He wanted a little baby bunny to hug. This guy is a little miniatures collector. It was quite a long time ago, and he was not feeling very well so we spent the day together, laying on the sofa and chatting a little bunnies chat, untill he fell asleep.7When I first crocheted the baby overall, I wanted to have this cute effect that these ‘newborn’ overalls have. I wanted to create a little detail on it. Well, it’s not that easy to create a detail on such a small work so I tried few different options and finally came out with the 3 dots on the front. It is actually quite an easy speedy kind of work, still a miniature work but very easy to make. I made the first one and while crocheting the second one, I wrote down the pattern on my pattern sketch book so it’s documented somewhere. 7971psda1I’ve been asked many times for the pattern for this 3 dots baby overall. I planed to share it here as a FREE pattern for quite a while and finally found the time to write a step-by-step pattern for you in my home alone morning hours. Gosh I love being here at my desk for pattern writing. 9353If you haven’t tried my ‘Mini pretty in pink‘ dress pattern, please go ahead and give it a try. It’s a speedy and very lovely kind of work. I think it really is requested to have the baby overall here now, so we have a baby girl and a baby boy in our Angie collection – bare Necessities. Now that the Angie kit is on the shop you can make quite a nice Angie collection of your own. We will use colours from the kit here today. 9352aBefore we start with the pattern, here is some important information you should know.

Sc in ch1, using 1 lp only. Insert your hook where I show with my sewing pin in below pic.
Now sc around the 2nd leg (10 sts).
Sc in ch1 from the other side, insert your hook as I show in below pic.9334When you finish rnd 6 You should have 22 sts around – this is the base of all following rnds.

Sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog, sc in next 4 sts – make the last part of the 4th sc with the dots colour, you should have the dot colour on your hook now.9344*With the dots colour on your hook, make a sc into the next st but make the last part of this sc with the overall colour, so you change colour again.9345 With the overall colour on you hook sc into the next sts, finish it with the dots colour* rep between ** once again.
Now with the dot colour make a sc in the next sts and finish it with the overall colour on your hook.
We have 3 dots on the front of the tiny overall now and we have the overall colour on our hook, right?
Break the dot yarn now, hide it inside the overall or behind the sts. 9346Continue working rnd 14 as follow: sc in 4 next sts, sc2tog, sc in last st (18 sts).

9351Making few of them was a ‘goes without saying’ here, and I do have a strong feeling that it’ll be just the same for some of you. These little baby bunnies are not just so huggable but also the sweetest decoration on any shelf emong a miniature collection. I imagine it inside a doll house, oHhhhh my goodness, too too cute. If you did make the overall pattern and you are on IG please share it with a #angiebunny so we can all enjoy it.9372It is indeed a nice bunny family I have here by now, quite proud of this joyful bunny family I created – so many hours of joy. Such a crochet bliss. 3950Psssssss, are you still here? Good, Come closer….I have a little bunny papery dream again. I was thinking of creating a set of PDF files for you to download for free, and that you can print. I thought to create a set of post cards/art work to frame and hang on the wall – in a size that will fit the IKEA picture frames. 7971bI’m just thinking it can be a gorgeous bunny pictures set. What do you think? should I go ahead and make it? A set of bunny pictures on a kids room wall? how does it sounds mmmmm…..

Well my lovelies, this is it for today. It’s quite late here and I still have some packages to pack and then off to bad. Tomorrow is another day. xoxMo
