Rainbow Pot of Gold Car Seat Canopy
Have you ever heard of a “rainbow baby?” A rainbow baby is a baby born after a mother has had a miscarriage or still birth. The rainbow is a symbol of hope after a storm. Although the storm clouds are still there as the parents will never forget their loss, a ray of hope for happiness is blessing their lives. Parents of rainbow babies will sometimes use rainbow blankets or car seat covers to show that this is their rainbow baby, their light after the storm.
This canopy is perfect for a special rainbow baby, or any adorable baby this spring! What mommy doesn’t feel like her baby is her special pot of gold? The blanket forms a protective car seat tent around your baby, giving them a break from prying strangers. It will keep bright lights out of your sleeping baby’s eyes, but is still breathable. Perfect for any season!
You can find all of my patterns in the Heather’s Craft Corner Shop.
Also available on Ravelry & Etsy.
Chunky Celtic Weave Car Seat Canopy
This has to be my new favorite canopy pattern. I can’t express how much I love the texture of this blanket. This canopy is so soft and squishy! It almost looks like little fuzzy ropes woven together. I just love it! It is easier than it looks, and takes less time than you’d think.

FAQ:
Q: Is there a video tutorial for this stitch?
A: Yes! There is a Chunky Celtic Weave Tutorial video on the Heather’s Craft Corner YouTube Channel.
Q: Is this worked as a bunch of strips that you weave together?
A: No. It is worked back and forth as rows. The woven look is created by a clever technique of crossing stitches.
Q: Are there any seams or sewing?
A: The only sewing is to attach the straps. The canopy itself is worked as one piece, including the border.
Q: What yarn did you use to make the canopy in the picture?
A: I used Bernat Blanket yarn to create the canopy pictured. It is very soft and easy to work with. I would highly recommend it. You will love the results! And, no, I don’t get commission for saying that. I really just like it.
I’m happy to introduce you my first hat & scarf set. I thought it would be fun to create a matching set. So, here it is!
Don’t you just love the texture? What I love is that it looks complicated, but it isn’t.
It is really easy and quick to work up. The texture makes it cute and interesting.
The Annalia Beanie comes with instructions for 3 sizes: Adult S, M, and L.
The Annalia Scarf is a one-size full length scarf.

I’m always excited to announce new patterns, especially when there’s a matching set! I’ve also release my first canopy using a bulky yarn.
What can I add? It’s cute, trendy, and useful in protecting babies from sun, rain, cold…and other people.
For this canopy, I modified the straps a bit to help distribute the weight of the blanket even better than my previous designs.
And let’s not forget the matching blanket…
Chevron Car Seat/Stroller Blanket
Besides being an adorable chevron blanket, it’s also a way to give a blanket for a baby gift and have it be much less work. It can also work as a wonderful stash buster if done with multiple colors.
This blanket is completely new in design. My other car seat / stroller blankets have openings that allow the straps to pass through, thus securing the blanket. This one uses straps at the top of the blanket to attached to the car seat handle or the stroller, leaving the straps undisturbed.
This canopy is the first that I’ve designed using a chunky weight yarn instead of worsted. It works up very quickly and has a beautiful texture to it.

Just released March 2014 is my newest pattern, the Crocodile Stitch Baby Beanie:
I’ve been wanting to make a new baby hat for awhile now and I love the crocodile stitch. This cute little hat finally popped into my thoughts. Like my other hat patterns, the decorative stitch is from the crown down so it’s adorable from every angle. I’m thinking of also making a pattern for children and adult sizes. We shall see…
Both US and UK Terms included.

I’ve been working down my list of designs I want to make and finally got to the Baby-licious Car Seat / Stroller Blanket:
This blanket is a perfect compliment to my other Baby-licious Patterns. This is the 7th pattern in the Baby-licious Collection (the bib & burp cloth are sold together).
Both US and UK Terms included.

Announcing the Waffle Stitch Car Seat Blanket!
This adorable little blanket is designed with openings for car seat or stroller straps to go through to keep it in place no matter how wiggly those baby legs are. It’s a great project for your own baby or grand-baby, or even for a baby shower gift. It is smaller than a regular baby blanket (so it doesn’t drag on the ground) making it an easier and quicker project for a beautiful, useful gift.
Both US and UK Terms included.
Available in any of my online shops:
Etsy
Ravelry
Craftsy
Released in December:
The last of my Santa Baby Collection (so far…) was released last month:
Santa Baby Throw Blanket – Adult and Baby Sizes
The drape on this blanket is to die for! I love it! It is cozy and just hugs you. Instructions are included for both a crib-sized blanket and adult afghan. Both UK and US terms included.

I’ve been a busy bee lately! Despite sick kids, sick me, and sick hubby, I still managed to get this one released this weekend. It’s super exciting for a nerd like me!

COMING SOON: Matching throw! (Adult & Baby sizes included)
I’m going to be releasing similar patterns to match the Waffle Stitch Canopy as well. Keep an eye out!

I have released two new car seat canopy patterns today!
First, we have the Waffle Stitch Car Seat Canopy:
Next we have the festive Santa Baby Car Seat Canopy:
These canopies were so fun to design and turned out exactly how I imagined. I’m thrilled! It’s fun to make string pretty, isn’t it?
COMING SOON: I am also designing matching car seat blankets and throws (both baby & adult sizes included) for both of these patterns. The Santa Baby blankets should be released in the next few days. So, keep an eye out!
If you’d like to grab one or both of these patterns, they are now available in any of my online stores:
