I have lately enjoyed knitting projects from vintage knitting patterns.  The sweater I knit for baby Emily was a vintage pattern from a vintage (1950’s or 60’s) booklet called Beehive for Bairns Volume 4 Eyelet Lace Sweater.

Becca is having a baby girl.  I asked her to pick out a knitted sweater pattern that I could knit for her new baby.  She chose an off-white classic sweater with wooden buttons.  It turned out really adorable!

I used a free pattern from the website Ravelry.

Or you can download it here: Sunnyside Baby Cardigan

Becca wanted the “boy version”, with the straight edge.  For the hat I used a plain hat pattern and changed it to match the sweater with the border on the bottom and the cabling (like the sweater) evenly distributed around the hat.

The yarn I used was Tanis Purple Label Cashmere Sock and I loved it…so soft!

I used the color “natural” and I ordered it from eatsleepknit@eatsleepknit.com (both the sweater and hat was made from one skein of yarn-making the 3-6 month size). 

Wooden buttons were ordered from Etsy’s buttonsbraidsandmore (25 Pcs – 1 Lot, Coffee 4 Holes Round Wood Sewing Buttons 11mm(3/8″) Dia).

Sweetheart sweater for sweetheart Caroline.

November 5, 2013 by shelley

Having already made a sweater for my grandchildren Becca, Henry and Jack (last year) I decided it was time to get out the knitting needles again.  Caroline has not received one so I decided hers would be the first one I did this time around.  I found an adorable sweater and hat called Sweetheart Sweater Set (the knitting pattern is a free download).  (Or here’s a pdf copy of  sweetheart sweater set knitting pattern).

Roaaar! Jack’s new sweater!

June 8, 2012 by shelley

I finished Jack’s new sweater with a roaring cute lion on the front.  I had some yarn left over so I added the cap.  Can’t wait to get the pictures of him in it!
