Now, before you start wondering why I’m knitting baby items, let me just tell you that Chicky has a friend from high school who recently started her own photography business. She asked me to knit up a few baby items to photograph her clients in. She showed me a picture of something she wanted to use in her studio, and together we selected a couple of patterns that fit the bill.
We met at Hobby Lobby, and I gave her a crash course on yarns…especially their weight.
She purchased a few skeins, and off I went.
Here’s what I made. Specific pattern notes can be found on my Ravelry project pages.
First off is a pair of newborn capris and kitten hat to match.
The pattern can be purchased here.
This is the kitten hat that I made. The pattern was included with the one for the capris (which also had instructions for making shorts, capris, long pants, and longer pants)…
Amber, my daughter’s friend, wanted a second pair of capris from a different skein of yarn.
I purled the last row of the legs and bound off purlwise as suggested in the pattern (I didn’t do this with the first pair). I like the results much better!
I bought the designer’s pattern for a newborn baby bonnet. Amber wanted tassels, and this pattern had them.
Both brands of yarn were FABULOUS to work with!
The pattern designer was also a gem and got back with me quickly when I sent her a question.
These were super fast knits, with the patterns so easy to follow! I highly recommend this designer!
It was fun to knit up these small items, and I can’t wait to see pictures of Amber’s clients all dressed up in the finery that came off of my needles!
