My Kinzie & Little Kinzie Baby Tops are continuing to be really popular! 
They are so cute ...... so easy to knit  ...... and perfect for boys and girls!
If you love them already - then I am sure you will love this too -

    2. Janice are you sure that is correct as that would only take you to row 49, so what is row 50 and 51??

      Delete
  4. Do you have the romper pattern for 0 to 3 months please?

  5. Beautiful bubblesuit/onesie but there is no guage/tension listed that is concerning other than that I would say a size 6/4mm needle used with aran/worsted weight yarn should achieve 0-3 mos, even using as large as a size 7/4.5mm (http://www.yarnfwd.com/tension.html, http://www.yarnfwd.com/needleconv.html)
    I hope this information helps others and I will try after august to make one with suggested changes and see where I get please if anyone else has success upsizing I hope they post it will help many people!

  8. Hi just to let you know I make things for Angel Babies who do not make it. I used this pattern using 4ply yarn and 3.25mm needles and it turned out well. I am going to try it again with 3ply and 2.75mm for the even smaller babies. I have already done this with the little top. dress and hats and they all come out great. thank you for all the patterns you share with us. x

  10. I am an experienced knitter but have just pulled it down after about 12 rows, I used a 4.5 needle (US7) and DK wool but the neck was huge. I used the 'cable' cast on method which I usually find to be quite firm. Has anyone else had this problem?

    1. I have made a lot of these but I use 4mm needles and my necks are fine

  11. Absolutely loved knitting this pattern! I think I have given around 10 of your patterns a whirl and thoroughly enjoyed them all :D My youngest daughter was born prematurely and in a time of darkness these patterns brought a shine into my day. Now I'm expecting a my third (and probably final) baby I'm enjoying the patterns a second time round as I prepare :D Thank you so much for publishing these freely and giving such enjoyment to so many :)

  12. Marianna I thought you might like to know that many of your patterns have been knitted by me for our local prem baby unit here in Auckland, New Zealand. You are my goto for prem baby patterns and in a recent Freemason project knitters in New Zealand knitted over 10,000 wee garments for prems throughout the country. i distributed your patterns to the Freemasons' wives and can't thank you enough for sharing them.
