Traditional Baby Coat
I like the traditional look to this little coat. It reminds me of knitting for my nieces and nephews when they were little. So far the design is very simple and the instructions are easy to follow. The pattern comes in just the one size but that suits me anyway as I prefer to knit cardies as gifts for new babies. I will make buttonholes on both bands to give me the option of giving it to a boy or a girl (sewing up the holes that are not needed when adding the buttons). I rarely use lemon but today it looked nice! I’m using Sirdar Snuggly DK for its softness and durability. This little jacket is almost finished. I found one small mistake in the sleeve pattern, which was really easy to fix. I made the hat one pattern panel larger as I felt it was a little neat for a 3 month baby. This meant that I started the crown dec with K6, k2tog, and I worked 3 rows g-st between all dec rows till k2, k2tog. I’m happy with the result. I have a set of buttons that are a good colour match.
