Thank you so much for giving everyone a chance to enjoy this cute pattern. People don't realize how much something they may think is small, but is very Big to the person who it is given to freely. So for everyone who will enjoy this, A huge THANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely message Kirsten Hinkle.
ReplyDelete:)
Hi is lovely pattern love your site ... Just would like To know from where do i repeat from row 41 to button hole row 51 thanks 😃😞
ReplyDeletethe pattern is from row 31 to row 34 so it is 3 rows knit then knit 4 purl to last 4 and knit 4.I have just worked it out. this is a gorgeous, so easy pattern. good luck - Janice
DeleteThanks janice 😊
DeleteJanice are you sure that is correct as that would only take you to row 49, so what is row 50 and 51??
DeleteDo you have the romper pattern for 0 to 3 months please?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
On Kinzie Romper after row 41 do you repeat rows 27-55? Donna
ReplyDeleteI have the same question Donna, I can't get my head round it either
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it's rows 31-34.
DeleteFrom what I've read above its rows 31-34,
Delete3 knit rows and 1 purl row.
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
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your wonderful patterns, have made nearly a box full to take to my local neonatal hospital. Such wonderful and esay instructions to follow.. please keep up your wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteI have made a lot of these but I use 4mm needles and my necks are fine
DeleteAbsolutely 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 :)
ReplyDeleteMarianna 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.
