About Crystal

Bookmark and Share  

Crystal was born into a family of twelve children in Kansas City, Missouri. During her teen years, one of her sisters (Darlene) taught her how to make fleece baby blankets, animal baby blankets and embroidered baby blankets. That was the beginning of a lifetime of sewing, quilting, knitting and crocheting homemade baby blankets! Crystal has three children and six grandchildren. All of them have beautiful homemade personalized baby blankets.
Attending Mount St. Marys University in Maryland, Crystal earned a Masters degree in business administration. She is a widow and enjoys her family and friends. Her love for children and crocheting baby blankets was the impetus for creating this website. Thank you for allowing her to share creatively with you.
Crystal has taught crochet and knitting classes through the years. She taught her Mother-in-law (who was in her 60s at the time), how to crochet baby blankets. She enjoyed the new hobby so much that she immediately made baby security blankets for all the new babies in the local hospital. The Mothers were excited to have received unique baby blankets for their wee ones! Her Mom quickly became quite professional at making baby blankets and gave free crochet patterns for baby blankets and round crochet baby blankets to everyone interested in the craft.
Welcome your new little one into the world with a soft, comfortable, handmade baby blanket! Blankets can help to provide a sense of security to both babies and small children. New and experienced mothers will appreciate a gift of a homemade baby blanket. Every baby is special and Crystal has chosen yarn of many colors to crochet baby blankets that will be exclusively for your baby. All baby blankets are 100% acrylic yarn and are machine washable and dryable. Crystal believes that a baby blanket should be pretty to look at and easy to clean. Crocheted baby blankets are treasured gifts for babies at any time - Baby Shower, Christmas, Christening, Birthday, etc. Many of Crystal's friends have said, "I still have the crocheted baby blanket that she gave me when my daughter was born 40 years ago."

Crochet and knit baby hats and caps that are made of 100% acrylic are machine wash and dryable.

Our 100% Organic Cotton baby crochet hat comes in a Natural shade (no dye - free from herbicides, pesticides and other agro-chemicals)...good for your baby - and for the environment. Hand wash and lay flat.

All crocheted baby blankets are high quality and homemade with tender loving care by Crystal, a grandma who has taken pride in her work for many years.

Excellent CHRISTENING, BABY SHOWER, NEWBORN, CHRISTMAS and BIRTHDAY Gifts!

FAQ

How should I wash and care for my baby blanket, papoose or hat?
Crochet or knit baby blankets, papooses and hats are made of 100% acrylic yarn and are machine washable and dryable. I recommend washing on a normal to low setting in either cold or cool water and placing in the dryer on a low heat setting. The blanket can also be spread out onto a flat surface to dry. DO NOT HANG BLANKET, PAPOOSE OR HAT TO DRY. If you feel it is necessary to iron your blanket, papoose or hat, use a low setting.
Our 100% Organic Cotton baby crochet hats should be hand washed - lay flat to dry.

What size are the blankets? 34" x 34"
