Baby things


These patterns for baby booties are from Simple Knits for Cherished Babies by Erika Knight. For the green ones, I used Plymouth Yarn Baby Boutique (50% microfiber, 50% nylon) in 05 Jade. For the blue ones, I used Sublime Soya Cotton dk (50% soya, 50% cotton) in 84 Comfrey.
This sweater pattern is also from the book mentioned above. I used the Sublime Soya Cotton dk for this. The sweater was knit in 5 parts, 2 fronts, 2 arms, and one back and then seamed together. Stitches were picked up around the front and neck for the ribbed edge. The arms are a bit long, since I think babies have short arms in relation to their body, so it looks a bit gorilla-ish. I have yet to sew on buttons.
