Infant hat pattern

I have recently knitted quite a few baby hats for charity. My mother-in-law C also wanted to do that, so I knitted this hat as an example, and sent her this pattern:

Use washable baby wool yarn and needles 2,5 mm.

Cast on 68 stitches on 3 needles. Join. Knit 2, perl 2 for 6 inches.

Decrease on rounds as follows:

1. Knit 2, perl 2 together.
2. Knit 2, perl 1.
3. Knit 2 together, perl 1.
4. Knit1 1, Perl 1.
5. Slip 1, Purl 1, pull slipped stitch over the perled stitch.

Thread the remaining stitches on yarn and pull tight. Weave in loose ends.

List Item 5 Star block for placemats

Knitted Toddler Wool Pants

Had some stashed grey yarn, maybe these will work for some little boy next fall?
Size 2 years.
Juvel washable wool yarn.

Spring Baby Sleepers

 The sleepers are made from

• fleece blanket (2 layers)
• bed sheets
• zipper

The first sleeper fits a new baby, the second one maybe up to a 9 mo or until the baby starts sitting up in the carrige. The sleepers are now on the way to a new mom, will be exiting if she thinks they works for her needs. If anybody is interested in a approx measurements and more pictures on how I put the sleepers together, let me know!

I have also finished a table cloth. This cat garden fabric was a present from my son. Did not have the heart to cut into it, so I folded up the edges, and will use it as a table cloth. Maybe use it for our garden table this summer?

Fabel BabyDROPS Socks

Trying to get stashed yarn used up. First finish is this pair of little boys socks.
Pattern: Baby Drops 16-26, size 2 years.
Yarn: Drops Fabel,

Working hard on my unfinished quilts also. Stay tuned!

Linn Juvel Baby Pants

The pants for baby Benjamin suit are now done! Finally got the buttons sewn in on the back. Crocheting around the neckline and armholes went like a dream, thanks to instructional videos on YouTube and a crochet needle to the liking of my slightly disabled wrist(Addi Swing from SandnesGarn). Knitting in sailor's rib (patentstrikk) made the pants nice and soft, but I am afraid the baby will pull out theads easily. The pants are a little wide. The pattern is a pattern I used over 20 years ago, made the same pants for the mother of Benjamin, in pink of course!

The jacket in blue is on the needles as we speak!

Pattern: Coats Kappehuset, Linn Kjøredress(pattern A) of folded sheet pattern number 67
Yarn: Juvel by Sachenmeyer, Grey. (Pattern called for Juvel baby, not possible to get anymore)
