Newborn props are one of my favorite to design and the Chef Baby is no exception! Photography props are a great way to create themes for the upcoming newborn pictures. You could make them for your own upcoming arrival or give them as baby gifts! This set is created using basic crochet skills and can be customized in any color schemed for girls and boys!
