A Little Obsessed with Capes

So, the reason I made the previous cape was because I actually had wanted to make this one. But unfortunately I've never worked with a crochet diagram before and since it was written in Japanese, I had no idea how to start. Anyways, I had asked r/knitting for help, and somebody eventually actually responded! So, after finishing up that last cape, I decided to not have their help wasted and make another cape. I must say, it is adorable! I didn't do really well with the chord and pom-poms but the cape itself was something I'm pretty proud of. I think this might be the last thing for the baby, unless anything else compelling comes up!

Heroes wear capes :)

Moooore baby things! I found such a cute poncho pattern that I really wanted to try out! I don't think I've ever crocheted something like this before because the pattern gave me a little more trouble than any other crocheted pattern has (I think because I had to search up some term like sk sp, and ch-3 sp), but I got the hang of it quickly. It's made for 3-6 months old, so that's why it looks a little big on my creepy baby.
 
If she wears this in the winter though, I think she'd look like a snow princess :D 
I thought it was a unique gift too because how often do people give baby ponchos as gifts?!I want to crochet more ponchos :D

Minnie Mouse

I am in a baby accessories making frenzy! Really hoping that it all fits my friend's baby though or that she'd like it! I thought I'd continue with the photogenic type of baby clothes. So .. I decided to make this Minnie Mouse set. (Also, I'm addicted to crocheting right now! ... I guess because I used to think I really sucked at it, and now I realize that I'm doing a pretty good job!) 

Anyways, here's the Minnie Mouse shoes!


Next, I had to make the dress! Underneath is a diaper cover that I had to crochet first.
 
With the dress, it looks a bit like a mushroom that you'd see from Super Mario heh.
Back of the dress/diaper cover
In case anybody is wondering how it looks like opened. Looks like ovaries.
Front side with the diaper cover open.
How it looks like on a baby.
The Minnie Mouse hat! Needed to sorta fluff it out to make it look good.
With it all together it looks really good!
 
.. And on a 'baby'!
I think it looks adorable! But I'm always worried that it won't look good or won't fit on an actual baby. Maybe that's why I'm making so much things because I'm hoping one of them will work out haha.
