Pants ready and a matching hat almost finished



The pants are finished,  and I have almost finished a mathcing hat.

As I´m using much thicker yarn than most baby patterns I had to adjust the hat pattern, and it seems that it will be ok, i hope it will fit...   i´m planning to add   bear-ears to it and an i-cord. The pattern for the hat I have on a piece of paper copied from somewhere and in Icelandic.  But here is very similar pattern . I had one of these as a child and I have always loved them.   Modifications that I made is: cast on 24 stitches, (12-12-7-7-12-12).

  Next on the agenda is either a scarf  or mittens or maybe both if the yarn is sufficient, i don´t really feel the need for a scarf for such a little baby as they almost have no neck so I will start with the mittens and then see if i mabye do socks or scarf.

Project 12 - baby cardigan and pants


First thing I´ve knitted for my baby girl who I´m expeting.  The cardigan is ready. No pattern, measured one of a favourite shirts from my 2 year old when she was newborn and went from there.  Aparrantly made some calculation errors, so the last button is very close to the previous. But I don´t care love it anyway.  I know just need to find the right buttons.



And I decided to start on pants to go with it, I´m basing it somewhat on a drops pattern and somewhat on these modifications... well that was the idea anyway but ended up doing it totally different to make them more baggy and tighter in the waist.. and ended up going more after a pants from my 2 year old than the pattern and the modifications.
