Knitting For A Newborn
This weekend, friends of mine became parents, and I started knitting! The news of the healthy baby and happy family had me digging through some of the stash to find some old fashioned Astra yarn that I had found at a thrift store a while ago. When knitting for a baby, machine washable yarns are a definite plus!
My new favourite baby bonnet pattern is the Top Down Bonnet with Anime Character {Ravelink} by Adrian Bizilia. I have made this bonnet with the ears and face before for a Japanese friend of mine.
This time I made the bonnet without the face and ears. It’s amazing….a totally new and different hat.
I enjoy how the stripes join up with each other along the line of increases.
This bonnet did not use up ALL of my stash, so I have cast on for a top down raglan sleeve sweater to match (blue with yellow stripes), and there might be enough left for booties too!
The wonderful thing about knitting for a new baby is that projects are small and manageable, and they look SO cute!
What’s your favourite thing to knit for a new baby?
