Handmade Gifts for a New Mom: Knitting and Crochet Patterns

February 9, 2014 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns

It’s getting to be that time of year again – baby time! Someone always seems to know someone having a baby in the spring and preparing to welcome a little one into the world. And while so many people may focus their time and energy into crocheting and knitting for the new baby, perhaps we should focus our energy on gifts for the new mom to help her out on this new adventure called parenthood.
