My 1st project for my granddaughter & it looks beautiful.I would like the pattern for the booties plz
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this adorable pattern...thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhy cant the pattern be downloaded.? Don't always have data or time to stay on the page. Knit for orphanages and make more than 1 item from a pattern
ReplyDeleteYou CAN download or print off the patterns for your own personal use. But you must not copy and share the instructions with others. :) x
DeleteMarianna,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this beautiful easy knitting pattern! It looks so adorable ��I also knitting for Charities.:)
Just found the cardigan that goes with the Little Surprise Hat (which I have knit many times for newborns in hospital) and can't wait to start it. Thanks for your wonderful patterns. Many new parents are so grateful for the little garments and I love knitting them. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am a complete beginner at knitting, but I thought I would try your pattern for my first grandchild. I am not sure at all about the 40th row for the newborn baby. Could you possibly explain how to attach the sleeves in a little more detail? Also, does the yoke just carry on from the main part? Anyone familiar with knitting is sure to understand, but I am a bit at sea!Many thanks
ReplyDeleteWhen I knit these little outfits I am going to package them up and send to our local premature baby unit in the local hospital
ReplyDeletelove it! Can't wait to knit it! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJayce
I knit patterns for premature and stillborn babies and really love your patterns. Thank you very much for sharing them and so generous free of charge they are really good and look lovely knitted up x
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this lovely pattern. I have made the cardigan and hat for a baby due to be delivered early.
ReplyDeletehi i love this pattern and actually wanted to know the name of the stitch. i did the preemie size for my 7 year old niece 18" american girl doll and now she wants a matching one. i have no idea how to resize it so thought i could look for a 7 year old cardigan (26" CHEST) with this same stitch or if you could resize it for me i would be willing to pay a fee :)
ReplyDeleteJust finished knitting this for my first grandchild, who will be with us in 5 weeks, by Caesarian I love this pattern, she will be the best dressed baby in the NICU, thank you Marianna for sharing 🤗😉
ReplyDeletelove your patterns..I make the sweaters and hats for the NICU unit at our local hospital thank you
ReplyDeleteDo you do bigger sizes in jacket
ReplyDeleteVery big thanks for your generosity. I'm a french knitter for charity in preemies hospital.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to use yours patterns, but, in France, we don't use medium, large preemies...
Is it possible to tell me the size that I must choose for the smallest babies ?
Thanks a lot for your help. Maddy
