	Mel January 27, 2009 12:04 AM PST I just made a pair of these, except I substituted ruffles instead of the leg ribbings. They turned out so cute! Thank you for this pattern! :)


	Paige December 11, 2007 07:17 PM PST These are really cute. I made a pair to give away as a present or put in my Hope Chest, but what does this size fit? Like 6 mo? Thank you!


	ruby December 1, 2007 10:19 PM PST I would like to know where I can find the sweater to match these cute pants


	Susan April 16, 2007 12:14 PM PDT CAUTION: be very careful when going to all these neat crochet LINKS!! Many (if not all) contain SPYWARE!! I spent all morning on angelcrafts which is Lyn's Designs, and I ended up with 17 defferent pieces of SPYWARE! There is a FREE Spyware removal program called SPYBOT that will search out, find, and remove the NASTY SPY BUGS from your computer. Spyware follows you everywhere you go and reports your information to the owners of the spyware. Your privacy is invaded! They can get any of your info they want! So do NOT use those cute little cursors, SMILEYs, etc. they are ALL SPYWARE.


	Susan April 16, 2007 11:46 AM PDT RE:Posted by Cora G. 03/11/2007 re: drawstring baby pants...On waist tie: after Fasten off. .. Tie know in each end close to ends ...? CORA - it should be: Tie a KNOT in each end . . . You have to use your thinking cap on nearly every pattern. I have noticed many people forget to check their patterns for spelling, punctuation and completeness. Even a forgotten COMMA, can leave the instructions unclear. Typo errors are common, so look at your keyboard for surrounding letters and you will usually see the correct one.


	Cora G. March 11, 2007 11:44 AM PDT re: drawstring baby pants...On waist tie: after Fasten off. .. Tie know in each end close to ends ...? This makes no sense


	jayneaudri March 1, 2007 10:27 AM PST DO YOU HAVE THIS PATTERN FOR KNITTING? THANK YOU!


	Linda Sanders October 15, 2006 02:30 AM PDT Do you have the pattern for the matching sweater ??


	Tasha September 9, 2006 11:41 AM PDT Pardon me for asking the obvious..but why did you have to state not to wear them on your head? Have there been problems with this? Is it similar to the warning on coffee cups that product may be HOT? :) But seriously...I've come back to your site over and over to get a pattern or two, and I've enjoyed reading the comments and stories. Keep up the good work.


	emily August 22, 2006 04:07 PM PDT I would like to make these for my son (0-3) months. Should I use a smaller hook size? If so, what do you recommend? Thanks, Emily


	Bonnie August 10, 2006 07:47 PM PDT Hey it would be nice to see more bot crochet patterns. thank you so much.....


	Dot April 30, 2006 10:22 AM PDT Thank you, debij40. I think you will need the drawstring to keep the pants up.


	debij40 April 22, 2006 03:01 PM PDT Hi - these are very cute. I was wondering if they would work just as well without the drawstring - or is it neccesary to prevent them from slipping.


	Dot February 4, 2006 10:52 AM PST Hi Terry, thank you. I don't have a pattern with the booties attached, but you could close up the legs by omitting the ribbing and doing rounds with decreases in them until the leg is closed.


	Terri February 4, 2006 12:55 AM PST Hi I love these leggings for a baby, but have you any patterns for leggings with the booties attached.


	Dot January 11, 2006 10:47 AM PST Hi Steph, these fit a 3 month old if you follow the pattern as is, but you can make them to fit your child, just make the waist band long enough to fit around your baby, then add rows from waist to crotch to make it fit the way you want it and then start the legs. You should be able to customize this pretty easy. I'd love to know how it turns out.


	Steph January 10, 2006 03:37 PM PST Can you tell me what size these pants fit? I have a huge 3 month old, and plan to make them in wool for him to wear as a diaper cover. Thanks! Steph


	Dot November 9, 2005 01:43 PM PST Micki, congratulations on your new baby. I know you're very excited about the coming event. I don't have a pattern for santa booties. Try doing a google search. I sent you an email too.


	Micki November 9, 2005 02:19 AM PST Hi, I am looking for a free pattern for little Santa Booties. My daughter is due Dec 18 and we would love to have some santa booties!!!


	Dot October 7, 2005 04:03 PM PDT Hi Tracy, glad you like these pants. The sweater is on Angelcrafts site and you will need to sign up (it's free and painless) It's called "Going Home Sweater Set". Here's a link http://www.angelcrafts.net/members/homesweater.html happy hookin'!


	Tracy :) October 7, 2005 02:53 PM PDT Thanks for sharing your beautiful patterns! You're very talented! I love these little pants. Could you tell me where to find the pattern for the sweater shown in the picture with the pants? Thank you! Tracy :)


	Dot August 18, 2005 06:38 PM PDT You're welcome, Karen. Glad you like the pattern. Congratulations on your soon to be grandchild.


	Karen August 18, 2005 12:00 PM PDT Thanks for the easy pants pattern. I've been crocheting outfits for my soon-to-be grandchild and it's so much fun!


	Dot May 10, 2005 08:30 AM PDT Hi Marilyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin, but I'm happy to know you were able to make her a hat that she loves. I hope she has a complete and speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you and your cousin.


	Marlyn May 9, 2005 08:31 PM PDT Thank you for the hats pattern. I made my cousin hat because she has had cancer this winter so she need more than a scaft or tunben. She love it so she want it a spring to so I made the " X and O"for her.


	Dot April 23, 2005 11:16 AM PDT You're welcome Kari. What a great idea using wool for soakers. Hope you learn to crochet. Let me know if I can help.


	Kari April 23, 2005 05:51 AM PDT Thanks for sharing this! It is a good idea to make them from wool and use them as a diaper soaker. Wool soakers can be pretty expensive. Now I just need to learn how to crochet! :P


	Dot April 1, 2005 11:03 PM PST Hi Rachel, here's a link to a chart of the different sizes. http://www.karpstyles.com/crochet/hook-chart.html


	Namerachael April 1, 2005 07:24 PM PST could you tell me the english version of sizes i.e. J & H many thanks


	Namerachael April 1, 2005 07:22 PM PST hi have had fun looking at your patterns,but could you tell me what size a J or H is, I am in england many thanks


	Dot March 15, 2005 11:05 AM PST Thank you, Joyce. Congratulations on your new grandchild, I know you're excited and can't wait for the birth. Here's a link to a sweater I used a lot. http://www.geocities.com/gossgirl2/KYBS.htm and here's a link to the sweater on the model pictured above. http://www.angelcrafts.net/ Angelcrafts is a site you have to join, I think, but it's free and you'll find a huge amount of baby patterns there.


	Joyce March 15, 2005 07:58 AM PST I really enjoy your web site we are going to be greandparents soon. and I have been busy making different thing for our new little one to come. I would love to know where I could find a easy to make sweater. thanks so very much, ejhurt@bright.net


	Dot March 2, 2005 06:52 PM PST You're welcome, Brenda. I'm glad you like the site. I'm afraid I can't help you with your other questions. I haven't designed any baby dresses and don't know how to enlarge them. Try to do a search on google for crochet baby dresses. I hope you find what you need.


	NameBrenda Jones March 2, 2005 02:52 PM PST Hi: I want to thank you for the website for the mary jane shoe pattern. Has anyone got any websites for little girls dresses to crochet? How do I make a dress pattern larger. I tried a larger hook but this does not seem to work. I know I need to add stitches but don't know how to go about it. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brenda Jones brendaj@nehp.net


	Dot January 20, 2005 06:00 PM PST Hi Brenda, try this site for some simple mary janes. http://www.geocities.com/gossgirl2/fakemjs.htm She has some really cute baby things on her site and her patterns are easy to follow.


	Name Brenda Jones January 20, 2005 03:50 PM PST Hi: I have a question does anyone have a pattern that easy to do for Mary Jane Booties? I am crocheting a baby dress and would love to have and easy pattern for these booties. I have a couple of patterns but they never seem to come out right when I am doing the straps. Anything anyone could do to help would be deeply appreciated. Sincerly Brenda Jones brendaj@nehp.net


	Dot December 28, 2004 10:47 AM PST You're welcome, Stephanie. I bet your son looks real cute wearing his new soaker pants. Glad you were able to make the adjustment so they fit him.


	Stephanie December 28, 2004 03:38 AM PST Thanks so much for the pattern! I whipped up a pair for my son, but he's a big baby, so I had to add extra rows for the crotch and length. I made them out of wool so it could be a pair of longies -a diaper soaker. I loved the pattern, I am going to have to make him a few more pairs. They are the only pants that don't fall under his feet when he crawls.


	Dot November 25, 2004 06:48 PM PST Here's a link to the pattern I used for the sweater and hat in this outfit. http://www.angelcrafts.net/ You might have to sign up to get into the site, but it's free and it's worth it due to all the great patterns found there. Hope you enjoy the patterns.


	Carolyn November 25, 2004 03:16 PM PST Looks like a fun thing to make. I make mostly baby things. Do you have a baby sweater pattern to go with this? Can't wait to try this pattern.


	Dot October 4, 2004 11:34 AM PDT I'm glad you like the pattern, I do hope you will stop back by and let me know how it turns out for you.


	Name October 4, 2004 12:47 AM PDT OMGoodness! This is absolutely wonderful! Thanks - can't wait to whip it up!


	Dot September 27, 2004 07:33 PM PDT Thank you!


	Name September 27, 2004 07:06 PM PDT OOooooooooh so cute!!
