I just discovered we are expecting a new addition to our family times two. Yes! My sister will be having twins and expected to arrive in May. I have plenty of time to make two sets of these. Not knowing the sex of the babies I will be careful to select gender neutral colors. I am so excited to be an Aunt for the first time.

You got to love this. Depending on your age you may remember when young girls had undies with the days of the week written on them. I thought that was practical for the anal retentive person that I am. This ranks right up there with that idea and of course I will be making these. Thanks so much for sharing this post.

These are so cute! I love the idea of Day of the Week bibs! They remind me of when I was a little girl and they had days of the week underwear. This would be the perfect baby shower gift. The only thing I am wondering is what size the baby booties are. Unfortunately, I do not have a baby that I could try them on.

This day of the week bib and bootie pattern is very unique. Looks like a great shower gift for that special that baby. The yarn suggested in this pattern is 100% cotton and easy to work with. The pattern reads very easily and is not that difficult. These could probably be made up within a week. This one project that I will look forward to working on.

Bib and Bootie pattern looks like something to try. The finished items are so cute. I have been looking for a bootie pattern and this one looks quick and easy. I will also make a bib to see how they turn out. Looks like a fun project. Definitely making these. Lots of fun for a daytime project.

I just love this set and crocheted them up for a baby shower gift. The mom to be just loved them, and so did several of the other moms that attended the baby shower. The booties were so easy to crochet they are now my go to bootie for every sweater set that I crochet. Thank you so much for the pattern, it is just wonderful.

I wish the pattern was more clear, that she would write the whole thing out instead of reverse pattern , It's to hard to follow, very frustrating! I would love to get a hold of her and ask her to write out the pattern instead of just reverse shape. it's just a lazy way to write it and to hard to follow.

If you go to the yarnspirations site and download the pattern it tells you how to do the letters. "Know-How enlarge these words 250% trace onto bib with carbon paper for embroidery"

I made the bib which turned out great. The instructions were easy to read. I tried to make the booties but the instructions were difficult to understand. I think diagrams would help. Thanks!

I am a pretty good crocheter, but am stuck on this patt. Where is the instep row? I assumed it was one of the short ends, but not sure. Is it at the foundation row or at the top or neither. Doesn't seem like it would be the long edge for the # of stitches instructed (9). Also, on the 2nd to 4th rows, where it says to sc to end of row, does that include the 7 stitches we skipped as well? Which ends/sides make up the center back seam? Once I have these answers, maybe I can figure out the rest. Thanks a bunch.

I need to know about the booties pattern if the first long edge is on the right or left of the bootie and where is the center back seam and if I was suppose to put the instep on the opposite side of the long edge? I know I have alot of questions but I do not know if I am wrong to begin with or not on what I have completed so far. Also, I am left handed so things can get difficult to reverse for me. I do not know where the instep goes on the bootie is that top of the bootie? I know I have alot of questions but I am stuck now. Oh btw, the bibs are fabulous!!! I would love to able to match them up with the booties!

I still don't see the size listed anywhere for the booties nor the answer to another who questioned this. Could you please give an approximate size - newborn, toddler, or ages 0-3 mos, 3-6 mos, etc. It would be most helpful. This is a fun set! _

PAT is the abbreviation for "pattern". Some crochet designers will say "continue working pattern so many stitches andor rows. you simply continue the same stitches you were doing before until the instructions tell you to work different stitches. For a great list of abbreviations try www.crochetmore.com123basics.htm

I read the instructions above and believe that it wants you to repeat the pattern of stitches just before the word Pat. So I'm guessing that you would put 2 sc in each stitch up until the last two, where you would decrease. Don't know if this is right, but it's worth a shot, and you can always rip it out if it doesn't work out.

Yoh = yarn over hook sc2tog = single crochet two together The pattern is giving instructions on how to reduce the number of stitches. Basically, you start a single crochet in the stitch indicated, then start another one in the next stitch indicated without working the 1st two loops off your hook. This leaves 3 loops on your hook. The final step is pulling a loop through all 3 loops on your hook. So the italicized instructions are on how to do a sc2tog. Whenever the pattern instructs you to do a sc2tog, repeat the italicized instructions. I hope this helps.
