Some Baby Things

These baby tie shoes are from Crotiques pattern site.

These will be donated to the local pregnancy resource center.

This is a baby set I made to donate to the local pregnancy resource center also. The sweater is from a pattern I found online a long time ago. The yarn I used is Caron Jumbo Prints, and since it is WW, my sweater turned out to be bigger than the pattern. It's about 6 month size. I couldn't find a hat pattern that looked like it went with the sweater, so I designed my own. Most of the booties patterns that I liked were too small to go with the sweater, so I designed my own booties too.

Chevron Lace Cardigan

This cardigan is made from red Heart Soft yarn, in the color Guacamole. I think I used 3 skeins, but I'm not sure, it may have been 4. I can't remember how many I bought. This is the third thing I tried to make from this yarn. The pattern is here:
Cardigan
This is a very easy pattern, and only took me a few weeks to make. I could've finished it a lot faster if I had worked at it a little harder. I used a progressively smaller hook as I did the sleeves so that the wrist would be narrower than the top of the sleeve. I added several rows of SC around the neckline, since it was quite loose, and
I made the bottom edge straight by doing SC/HDC/DC as needed to get an even edge. I then did a border of DC followed by a round of SC around the entire sweater. I am considering adding some buttons to the front.

Baby Set

This is a baby set I made for the baby chairty Gods Tiny Angels.The patterns are on their blog... botties... sweater... hat...

Sweater

I finished stitching the sweater together this morning. It is a basic raglan pattern. The varigated yarn is "Needles 8 ply acrylic" from Australia and the solid pink is "King Cole Pricewize DK".

Daughter's School Sweater

This is my first "made to size" knit wearable! It is meant to go with my daughter's school uniform in the fall - it has to be Navy blue. I have three more to make before it gets cold, one for each child!

This took a little less that 4 skeins of RHSS Sport Weight in Navy, and used the (free) Summer Sox Cardigan pattern. If you make this, there are some pointers on the site that would help make this easier.

Baby sweater

Finally finished a sweater that has been waiting for the finishing touches.

Boy's Sweater

I made this sweater for my grandson Jesse. Unfortunately, I started it so long ago that it no longer fits him, lol! Oh, well,at least I finished it! It's called Sporty Sweater and is from Crochet World, December 2001. I used TLC Lustre Claret, Dk Sage, and Black.
