I have been dreading doing little newborn pants because I thought it would be too difficult to learn. I followed this tutorial and found that it wasn't as hard as I thought.
After using worsted weight yarn (Red Heart) I wanted to make the soft thin ones I've seen around. I had no idea what type of yarn it was but after some research, I found out it was mohair yarn. I went searching for Mohair yarn in my local craft stores. I went to 4 different stores including JoAnns & Michaels and they didn't carry it. I was so sad because I just have to start making it now. I found them on eBay for pretty cheap. A ball of yarn is about $3!!! This is an AMAZING price given that I finally found it in a small local yarn shop for $15 (same exact one). Yes, I bought it because like I said, I just had to start crocheting!
Of course the knitted pant/hat sets look much nicer however I'm not that great at knitting.
Since i'm having a boy, I've made sets for little boy newborns. For when I get a newborn baby girl in the studio, I made some tieback headbands too! They're so much fun to make. I would probably go all out making girl accessories if I were having a girl... My hope for ever having a girl is out the door :(
