Elanns Bamboo classic was used for the blue and purple Union Suits. It was extremely spilty, but super soft. It should be comfortable for a baby :) This blue suit is size 3 months.
Elanns newer Sonata Soft in brown was used for this size 3 months suit. It is not as soft as the bamboo, but did soften up some once washed.
Periwinkle union suit in size 2 years for Liv :)
I also knit a hat for her, like the ones I made a few years ago. "Thorpe" is by Kristen Kapur and is easy and quick to knit. It is also a free pattern! I used Knit Picks Swish in Serrano and Dusk. I held the strands doubled to achieve the correct gauge.
Life has been busy lately. My mum has been in the hospital for 3 weeks, home for a few days and is back in again. I have tried to go down there every week for a few days and help out. Hopefully things will return to "normal" soon for them :)
I have a few new patterns coming out, one of which is a unique hat pattern: "Mister or Missus" Toque. It comes in 5 sizes: baby, toddler, child, women's and men. It features seamless twisted stitch cables that run from front to back and a section on each side. It is an advanced beginner to intermediate pattern, but isn't too hard once you get going :)
Above is the womens and toddler sizes using Cascade 220 wool. I knit these last year but haven't done anything with them since then!
The hat is started at the top.
Notice Loxley's scarf? India knit this little beauty :) Maybe I can convince her to write out the pattern?
More cuteness :)
The Man's hat was knit with Madelinetosh Vintage, if I remember correctly.
This pattern will be knit up with Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed soon! Come back for a free pattern giveaway :)
Happy knitting!
Oh, my, they're gorgeous! I can hardly wait. And the hat! It turned out looking better than I pictured. Love those colors.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your beautiful family, as always, in the knits. Loxley's hair is getting so long! He's so adorable.
Beautifully done! The union suits are beautiful - you are so talented Meg! Looks like you are passing on your love of knitting - India did a great job on the scarf! Love the hats too. =)
