I'm just now finishing up a crochet project consisting of a baby hat and blanket, all done up in quot;boy colorsquot; (blue, green and yellow)However, I just found out that the baby is a girl not a boy, as told to me earlierI don't want to re-do the project, so I'm considering placing the articles in a 4:1 water to clorox solution until the color comes off, then washing it with woolite in the laundry in warm water, with a red shirt tossed in to make it look pink (fabric softener would also be used)Any hardcore crocheters/knitters have any advice as to this idea? My yarn is Red Heart Brand yarn, 100% acrylic.Thanks!! :)
My grandmother used to boil it (not too much water) with dried apples, called schnitz, until tender, then take out the ham and drop dumpling dough on the water, and you have schnitz und knepp.

Instead of bleaching how about adding some pink frills insteadBlue, yellow and green can also be used for little girlsJust add pink and or peach like in flowers or add some laceIt would look adorable and save your projectI am concerned that the other colors would run and end up ruining your projects.
