Crocheted Milestone Blocks

**DESCRIPTION** The **Crocheted Milestone Blocks** are such a fun project to make because there are so many different ways to use these blocks. Initially, the blocks were designed as part of the **Milestone Bat Blanket Collection** to use to chronicle your babies **growth**. This entire set allows you to dress the baby with the **Holy Bat Man Hat**(pattern sold separately), place them between the the bat wings on the **Milestone Bat Blanket**(pattern in testing phase), and use the blocks to display the baby's age. Once you snap a picture, you have a **lasting memory**. Other motif options have been provided in the pattern so that the blocks can be coordinate with my other blankets designs too including the **Bunny Buns Blankets** and **Sly the Fox Blanket.** The blocks can be a **stand alone** item to use along side your baby for picture taking or made in colours to coordinate with your own favourite blanket. If you add a few extra blocks, they become an **educational play toy** for kids. Make up in a variety of colours, with different numbers, and/or alphabet letters and your child can learn their **colours**, **numbers** and **letters** as they stack away. **LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY** Intermediate **SIZE** Squares: 3.5” x 3.5” (8.9 x 8.9 cm) Rectangle: 7.5” x 3.5” (19 x 8.9 cm) **MATERIALS** This pattern is a great stash buster **Yarn**- #4 medium weight - 7 yd/6.4 m for each small square (6 squares per block) - 14 yd/12.8 m for each rectangle block (4 rectangles, 2 squares per block) **Stitches/Techniques** Single Crochet Waistcoat >Here are some of the testers' comments about this pattern: >- Perfect size and stack well. >- Very giftable. >- I love learning a new stitch. >- I liked how each little square was a little hit of dopamine, like they were their own little projects that all fit together! >- I thoroughly enjoyed how easy the pattern was to follow. >- I love this pattern. >- It is a perfect baby gift and or learning tool. >- It is a very easy stitch that I just learned, but will be using a lot more. >- I have learned so many new stitches with your patterns. **STAY IN TOUCH** For new designs, updates, sneak peeks and behind the scenes follow: Website: yarnsaboutyarn.com Instagram: @yarnsaboutyarn Facebook: yarnsaboutyarn YouTube: youtube.com/@yarnsaboutyarn **SPECIAL NOTES** - This pattern and photos are the copyright of Charlotte Whaley of Yarns About Yarn.
