Baby knits

One of the good things about having a winter baby is all the cute cuddly woolly knits I get to make for the baby. So far I have made a blanket, hoodie with matching booties, owl booties and mittens, slipper style booties, a beret and socks. Yes I have been busy ever since we first found out we were expecting.

Patterns and yarns from left to right: Snug by Hinke (Malabrigo Worsted in Azul Profundo),
Rolled cuff booties by Nickie Alexander (Malabrigo Worsted Azul Profundo),
 Owl booties by Nellas April (Patons Dreamtime 4ply in baby blue), Mini motif baby mittens by
Nett Hulse (Patons Dreamtime 4ply in baby blue, Patons Dreamtime 3ply in white),
Babystovler by Vintage (Premier Yarns Serenity Garden in jewel), Baby Rollin' beret by Woolly Wormhead
(Cascade Yarns Venezia Worsted in Purple),  Better-than-booties Baby socks by Ann Budd (Patons
Dreamtime 3ply in white), Baby Chalice Blanket by Karen S. Lauger ( Cascade 220 Superwash in Jade).

There is one Baby Jacket that is particularly special to me, it is the first baby jacket I ever made with the intention of a friend's baby shower in mind - I designed a very cute newborn jacket. However I ended keeping it and making a Celtic Raglan for her instead. I can't believe after almost 3 years, I'll finally get to use it. I titled my project Field of Dreams, after the whimsical daisy stitch in baby toned variegated yarn and bordered by a white linen stitch edging.

Whilst I can't share my jacket pattern (I have none), I have made quite a few baby knits for other people that I just have to share. These patterns are so simple and quick there is no reason a beginner should not attempt them.

Seems like blogger doesn't approve of my long post and I'll have to make a part 2 to finish sharing more cute baby knits! Stay tuned!
