Sweet baby knitting pattern with choice of crewe neck or v neck jumpers and leggings with an adorable hat with a fun topping! Just take a look at the pictures, every time I see this pattern I want to get my needles out and make that hat!
Most of my baby patterns are uni sex but this one is pretty girly with the fairisle section having a row of little girls holding hands across the jumpers and on the hat. Shown in pinks and purples it would also look great in bright colours and you could even experiment making each of the girls in the pattern a different colour!
It is an easy pattern, good for those who have not had lots of practice. the fireisle sections look complicated on the finished garment but are simple to follow on the instructions with a basic graph to follow. This basic graph is a good way to start with doing this style of knitting and once the technique is mastered you will be able to take on projects with pictures which is great fun.
This is a vintage pattern. I use any double knit wool for this pattern as the suggested wool is no longer available. This means it is essential to work a tension square before making your items to be sure the sizing works out well.
You will receive a scanned copy of the original pattern which forms part of my collection put together many years ago and I am only sharing it with buyers as a hobby which I hope you will enjoy. I have personally made most of the designs shown in my patterns, they were mainly made for my sons who are now well over 30 years old!
I print the patterns onto photo paper so they are pretty robust and place them in a plastic sleeve to protect them. The originals show signs of wear and tear which may be apparent on the one you receive, there may be a coffee cup ring or some notes, where possible I will have edited them to tidy up. It will always be possible to knit your garment with the wear and tear having no impact on your ability to do this. You may be able to see crease lines where the originals have been folded in my knitting bag but I think this just adds to the charm. This one has no creases or marks visible.
