Little grey hoodie

Little Grey Hoodie

Earlier this year we had a surprise announcement that we were going to be grandparents, so I started looking at the knitting patterns I have and decided to make this lovely hoodie.

Its made in double knit using pale grey from #JamesCBrett, yarn from #Deramore and white buttons.

Even though its made from double knit the Pattern is so thick it looks like Aran.

I cant wait to see this on the new baby.

Christmas comes early

As a special request I've started making my favourite project Christmas jumpers earlier this yr. This jumper is made from #Patons Fab DK cream double knit, and the features knitting using #The Women's Institute premium yarn for the face and antlers and for the eyes and nose I used #Patons Fab DK

This is the front being worked

Yellow textured blanket

A few weeks ago a friend asked if I could make her a cot blanket, after a look through my pattern folders I decided to make this one, it's made from #JamesCBrett super soft baby double knit in pale yellow. I'd just started to knit this blanket when we had a week of over 95 degrees so it was just to hot to sit and knit this blanket so I only managed a few rows each night, but finish it I did and what a beautiful blanket it turned out to be and I'm sure my friends new grandchild will have many years of cozy nights under this special gift.

Little green diamond

This weeks make is a little 16" chest round neck cardigan with a diamond patterned border and 5 lovely big buttons.

This cardigan is made from #Hayfield baby bonus extra value double knit in pale green,  it's machine washable and can be cool tumble dried.

The needles used for this cardigan were 3mm and 3 3/4 mm which make the cardigan lovely and thick and supper warm to keep baby snug.

Little pink cardigan

This week I knitted a pale pink cardigan using a pattern I found in the local charity shop a few months ago.

I used #Jame C Brett super soft baby double knit 100% acrylic which machine washable but not tumble dryable.

This little cardigan fits a new born 14" chest and has a round snug fit neck to keep baby warm.

It has a pretty lace panel body and a peep hole top it would be lovely over a little dress or babygro

Surprise request

last week I had a surprise request from a family member, to make 2 sets of snowman mitts and matching hats, these were made from super soft #stylecraft double knit and oddments of orange for the noses and black for the eyes.

I can't wait to see the new babies wearing these.

Trouser suit

These little trousers remind me of the old fashioned pram suits your used to get many years ago before snowsuits were invented, and with the addition of a smart matching little jumper really makes a cute little set, and I have enough yarn to make a little hat to match at some point before the weather gets to cold.  

This set will for 16" chest which is an average 3 month baby.

To make these I used #Patons Fab DK, in white with random blue, grey and brown splashes of colour,  this yard is machine washable and tumble dryable always good.
