The sling is for my sister who is due with her first baby in 3 weeks. Her partner will be carrying the baby in the sling too, so its a bit longer than it should be on me. If it does not fit him properly, I will adjust it when the baby is born. I am flying down to Melbourne with my boys in a week and a half to hopefully be with my little sis for the birth. We are praying he does not come early!
Oh how I miss my baby wearing days! Sometimes! LOL I am so loving the crocheted slings though as I never had one like this, and I loved carrying little peanut around in the one I made for her! They are so cozy and comfy! And NO, I don't see any more babies in our future. Looking forward to some grandkids one day though!
Happy crafting everyone! Hugs and smoochies xoxoxoxox
UPDATE 5/4/14: The pattern that this sling was based on comes from the Eco Living book and is called Mothers Love Sling. I improvised this one to omit the ring and make it to fit snug on the recipient. If you would like to purchase the book it is available at Shop Red Heart for $4.99.
This is a picture of my original sling made from the pattern in the book....we found it a little big for the newborn, hence the reason I adapted it the next time.....
Karisma, that sling is just divine and what a gorgeous colour! I'm sure your sister will love it!:-)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love my baby sling. My daughter is 13months and it's so much easier and lighter than my Moby Wrap. I also love babywearing because it keeps my hands free, so I can multi task. If I could, I would sit all day holding a baby, but that's just not possible. I absolutely could not grocery shop without wearing our daughter :)The sling is so cute and beautiful...Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Baby! Slings sure have come along way since I started wearing my first baby 23 years ago. There is so much to choose from these days. Thanks for the link too. I love the green slings on there. Will bookmark it for my friends. Hugs xoxox
ReplyDeleteI would love this pattern. Could you give it to me or tell me where I can find it??
ReplyDeleteHi there, This is actually a modified version of the sling out of a booklet I had a few years back. I made the one in the booklet first and we found it was way too big for the baby. The next one was made to fit my sister. I honestly could not remember what I did with it at the time, its been a while.. Here is the Ravelry link to the name of the booklet etc. It is out of print now but you might be able to find it online somewhere. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/coats--clark-j27-0006-red-heart-eco-living
DeleteI actually can't find it anywhere do you by chance still ave the book? And could possibly email me pictures or something??
ReplyDeleteWill try and find it tomorrow. What's your email?

ReplyDeleteI have looked all over for this pattern and have come up empty handed. Was wondering if you still had access to it and could send it to me as well. Is prefer to make it for my month old instead of spending extra money on different materials to make something else.
