sweet peas

As soon as I found out my friend was expecting (twins!), I told her that I wanted to crochet something for the babies. She told me that because her last name starts with a "P" she and her husband call the babies, "Baby Ps." She shared a picture of a photograph of newborn baby twins in a cocoon in the shape of a pea pod. Get it? Two peas in a pod!

I scoured the internet to find a pattern for a pea pod prop and finally found one on etsy.com.

I crocheted the pea pod in Lion Brand's Homespun yarn with two strands together using a "P" hook. The hats and the stem are made with a worsted weight yarn. Since my friend is having a boy and a girl, I decided to crochet a flower on the one hat to tell the babies apart.

Of course, I made a card, too; I had to go with the theme!

Maddie and Tom, I am so happy for you and am excited to see your two peas in a pod. <3
