Little bear has to be the dummy here, there is no baby yet I can actually try it on on.
Here is another one from the back.
Next up: Baby Sophisticate
Another very cute little coat that I love. I used the pattern before (sorry no pics) and I really liked it – I do prefere patterns that are top down and no seams. The yarn is some Acrylic from Hobby Lobby it is really nice and soft and seems very durable. Because it is a sport weight yarn and not the aran the pattern called for I went up a size and I think it turned out perfect. I love the bright color. Not only don’t we know yet the gender so I need something neutral, I also don’t like all so pastely pink and blues – baby needs color. No buttons yet, as with the previous, but I can’t really decide yet.
Mr. Bear really enjoys his new modeling career.
And last but not least: Little Bonnet
Yes I know I said I made two hats, but I didn’t take any pics of the other one yet. But this wee little bonnet is just to adorable. I love bonnets on babies and I hope this one will look as cute as I think it will. The yarn is some amazingly soft cotton/ angora blend – sooo soft. The pattern is from the book “Vintage Knits for Modern Babies” – I really like it there are some very cute patterns in the book. The waffle stitch makes it interesting and gives the hat some nice texture and I like how the decreases come together in the back. And with all those baby knits I actually mastered the kitchener stitch finally. It is only half as hard as I thought and the results are great. Even normal seaming doesn’t seem so bad on some little baby items.
Yeah I know there are some ears in the way, but you get the idea.
No button again, but I need to wait for baby to actually be here so I can see were to put the button.
That’s round one of the baby knits, more to come in the next few month and probably years. I really enjoy knitting those little things, not only are they instand gratification but they are so cute – can’t wait for the Alien to get here.
