Bright Stripes Newborn Baby Hats

Modern mums like bright bold colours for their newborns, so I made these cute little newborn baby hats with bright bold stripes. They are very easy to knit.

 

Hope you like them.

Premature Baby Crochet Baby Jacket

There are loads of little crochet baby jackets available but I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for.

 

I wanted instructions for a sleeveless premature baby jacket - in DK weight yarn - and written in UK terminology.

 

After lots of looking …..it seemed easier in the end to write my own !

(although I must say that there are many similar patterns freely available).

Anyway this is my version.

Marianna's All-in-One Sleeveless Toddler Top

My All-in-One Baby Top has been very popular over time  ~

and you all seem to love it and want it in bigger sizes too.

 
I previously added 2 bigger sizes for Age 1-3   &   Age 4-6, 

However ........ over time I thought I could improve the pattern, so I have re-written it, and the Age 1 - 3 is now Age 2 - 3 years. 

I have given it a tighter neckline and I think the pattern is a better fit overall.
