finally he can wear them!

Now that the weather is getting a little colder, my son Jakob is able to wear the knits I worked on while I was pregnant with him.

First up we have the Moss Block cardigan I designed.

Next is the Sweet Baby Cap, which is a free pattern found online. I don't have a link handy at the moment but if you Google "Sweet Baby Cap" you'll find it right away.

This is our version of the Child's Placket Neck Pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. If you make this, be sure to download the errata! I will definately make this again, but I would make the body longer as I find the body and sleeves a little short, but the width is perfect for him.

Here is Jakob with his friend, Sheldon from http://www.knitty.com.
We have him here in the Froggy hat and socks set, also a free pattern online.

Lastly here he is in his Hallowe'en costume. I designed and knit this as I went along, and it was finished just in time for him to go trick or treating as SuperBaby!
I'm really sorry I don't have the links to those free patterns handy, but if you want to email me I can get them for you. You can also get all the info here at my blog.

Entrelac Blankie & Child's Placket Neck Pullover

It's been a while since I posted- our big boy is now 3 months old! Here's a photo of Jakob with the Patons Decor entrelac blankie I made. There was no pattern, each square is just ten stitches wide, worked in the usual entrelac way. Once I finished the body I did 3 rows of single crochet around just to finish it off.

This is Jakob modeling the Child's Placket Neck Pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It's not quite cold enough but I was afraid he'd grow out of it. I knit the 6 month size and the only change I'd make would be to add about 2" in length.
I can't wait to knit more of these!

These photos and more at my blog.
