A Few Baby Clothes

 

I have made a few baby clothes – to go with the miniature throw that I wrote about last month.  I have made a multi-coloured jacket which is supposed to fit a baby of about 3 months.

 

When I knit something like this – I think of the Agatha Christie comment: “two sleeves, both the same, very boring” – because of course – these 2 sleeves were different – so not so boring!

I have also made a little red set of a jacket, a hat and some mittens.

 

This set is much smaller and is intended for a more recently born baby.   The hat may be useful for a bit longer than a couple of weeks – but I expect the baby will quickly grow out of the jacket.   The jacket is a pattern from Knit Now magazine and the hat and mittens are from a Stylecraft pattern.  They are all double knitting acrylic – so they will be easy to wash.

I have now started thinking about knitting Christmas presents – although this morning I have gone back to the large modular knitted throw and told myself – I should finish it before I start anything else.  I have cast on another square – so hopefully I will get it finished in the next few weeks.
