A cute baseball set. Nice to find something different for a baby boy. If a person knows the parents favorite team do the set in those colors. Even a baby girl could wear the set.
Thank You for sharing all these nice patterns.

Donna said...

can this set be made larger by going up hook size?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

Yes you can try that and see if that works.

Regarding the hat Row 9 haa been omitted from instructions, and Row 10 needs addt'l info to be clear as to what stitch to use. Am trying to make this for my 1st great grand child. Have tried several things, but none looked right. Thank you for your help. Kathy kar625@yahoo.com

Hello! I have made diaper covers before, similar to this pattern. Can you explain row 4? I think that is where I am going wrong. For rows 5-7 I have 23 in each row and so for row 8, I am one short?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

Did you watch the video yet, think that will help you, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yaL0b_Rbko

colleenmartin said...

I didn’t realize there was a video for the diaper cover, thank you! I see where I made a mistake.... I think the dc in the 12 is missing from your pattern...

4. Slip Stitch into the next 12 stitches, in the 12 stitch, ch 2, dc in the next 23
stitches, leave the remaining 11 stitches unworked. Turn

Thanks!!

Do you have a video on how to do the V marks on the baseball hat that looks like a baseball?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

I just took yarn and a yarn needle and sewed in the stitches by criss crossing the yarn to create a v-stitch

What a fantabulous post this has been. Never seen this kind of useful post. I am grateful to you and expect more number of posts like these. Thank you very much. Best Leather Baseball Caps

Hi. Can't wait to make this for a friend. How much yarn should I pick up? Thanks, Donna

amyscrochetpatterns said...

one skein of each color will work

Unknown said...

How much yarn of each color?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

Im so bad at keeping track of each pattern I do for how much, but I would estimate less than half of skein for both, it doesnt take much since its little items.

Jule in Fort said...

I'm confused on row 5. It starts 11 stitches in from one side. Does it go all the way to the very end, or only to where the 12 stitches at the other end?

amyscrochetpatterns said...

So you will have 12 stitches slip stitched, then 23 stitches will have a dc along with your ch 2, then leave the next 11 stitches unworked, so you turn after you do the dc, so on both sides will have 12 stitches slip stitched, and 11 stitches unworked, and you will have the center of the 23 dc to work with now. hope this helps.
