Sock Weight Baby Sweater

Here is a baby sweater that I just finished, using sock weight yarn. I found the pattern several years ago on ravelry, so I don't know if the pattern is still available. Just do a search for sock weight baby sweaters and it might be under that. I changed the pattern a bit, by adding some ruffling in the front. This would fit 6-12 month old baby. It's a top down one piece knitted sweater.

Prim Rose Bonnet with Knit Lace Edge

This baby bonnet pattern was a free pattern from a blog. I'm not sure it is even available any more, but I finally got it knit. It's really easy, and so cute with the lacey edging which is knit separately, and sewn on. If all you have time for is to knit a bonnet for a baby shower, this is a quick knit.
The pattern is called "Prim Rose Bonnet" by Becky Bright of Bright Creations. You might find this on Ravelry.com

Baby Blossom Turtleneck Sweater

This is a toddler sweater made from the left over baby blossoms yarn of the sweater I did in a previous post (see below). I used a skein of white yarn and mixed it with my left over blossom yarn to create this turtleneck sweater.

Lace and Leaves Baby Sweater

This is an adorable little sweater to knit, and makes a quick project for a baby shower. It comes from the Leisure Arts pamphlet #4577 titled "Knit Lace and Leaves for Baby." Sizes are preemie, newborn, 3-6 months. There are two sweater patterns, one with a hat, one with a bonnet, and blanket patterns to match the sweaters. The sizes of the sweaters depends on the weight of yarn you use, super-fine weight #1 is for preemie, DK weight #3 is for newborn, and worsted weight #4 is for 3-6 months size. This sweater is knit in a #3 dk weight.

Baby Blossoms Sweater

This baby sweater and yarn came from a kit from the Mary Maxim catalog. The yarn is fun to knit with, because it creates these little impressions of blossoms, and has a self-striping character. The pattern does not include the ties and pom-poms, I added that myself as a last idea for a closure for the sweater. It was fun to knit, the yarn is soft, and is 100% acrylic, so it's washable and dry-able. I don't know if this kit or yarn is available anymore, you can check out the Mary Maxim website for this and other baby kits and yarns.

Cowl - Neck Poncho

I knit this poncho, which is really more like a caplet, because it comes to my elbows. I knit this in a mohair/woo/acrylic yarn. It's incredibly soft and warm and very fast to knit. The pattern is in "Knit simple" magazine pg. 25 Winter 2014 issue. The caplet is on the front cover. This caplet is knit with a bulky yarn and I used a size 15 needle.

Caroling Cape

I recently finished knitting this cape/poncho. The pattern comes from the December 2014 Special Holiday issue of "Love of Knitting" magazine. It's called the Caroling Cape on pg. 47. I just changed the bottom design and substituted a simple lace pattern. My yarn is a merino wool, and I ran out of the striped yarn and had to find a yarn that was close in color to that, and I think the colors blended well.
