New project
Many years ago when I had my first daughter, as a leaving present I was brought a little red and white knitted pram suit, from one of the girls I worked with.
I did make a little set for my first grandson Edward using fisherman's rib and now I'm going to made one for my new grandson Matthew.
So I've been looking through my patterns some going back over 40 yrs and I selected a number of patterns I want to make, with various patterns on the jumpers, I'm going to mix and match jumpers to leggings from different patterns, I'm going to make 2 piece sets rather than onesies for ease of nappy changes.
I think the smaller suits I'll do with feet, and from 6 months as trousers, but you'll see I made these two as trousers.
These will ideal for the autumn and winter months, and are also perfect for using in car seats when babies cant wear their coats, they can be lifted straight out of the car seats and into their prams without having to mess about putting coats on.
I'll start with a new born one first to see how they look and ask a few people what they think and then I'll make them in various sizes up to a year.

A selection of yarns
Hoodie and leggings pictures
I made this set using white yarn specked with orange and green and white leggings with cuffs and waist band in contrasting yarn, this one fits a 16" chest 0-3 months
And this one in yellow, green and white to fit 14" chest new born ideal for bringing your new baby home from hospital.
So I've made 2 so far I'm hoping to make a few more at a later date.
