I made the Baby Sachet out of the Crochet Designs of Anne Orr booklet. I used some scrap fingering weight wool and a size 8 steel hook (1.50 mm) which is a little smaller than I usually use for thread. This is done in a fairly simple version of a star stitch where you cut the yarn at the end of the row and start over on the same side. That means there were a lot ends. Instead of sewing them in I just tied them together and tucked them inside with the stuffing (which was also yarn). You make two star stitch triangles and sew them together before adding the edging. The edging was supposed to be a triple crochet but I used a double instead and I used a flower I had instead for the ribbon they used. I didn't use any sachet powder. You could add some essentials oils to the stuffing if you really wanted to use it as a sachet. This was pretty easy to do but I don't know what makes this specifically for a baby.
Here's the scoring: Is the pattern easy to understand? Yes. They did a pretty good job of describing a star stitch. 1.0 Does it look like the photo or illustration? Yes 1.0 Would someone use this? Yes. 1.0 Did I enjoy making it? Yes. It was a fast and easy scrap project. 1.0 Total = 4.0 Another perfect score!
