Layette Set 32

This is the 32nd layette set I've made for KnitWits.



The Cardigan



Pattern: Little Avery by Taiga Hilliard Designs

Size: 3-6 months

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft
Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: Bone

Needles: Circular size 7

Started: June 29, 2018
Finished: July 13, 2018

I have been wanting to try this pattern for quite some time. I like it. It's easy to knit and looks so cute. 



 I embellished it with some embroidery just to feminize it. Just because it's tan in color doesn't mean it has to be for a boy.



The stitch pattern is simple and easy to memorize.



The hat



Pattern: Chibi Striped Baby Hat by Chiaki Hayashi

Size: 3-6 months

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft
Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: Bone

Needles: Circular size 7

Started: July 14, 2018
Finished: July 21, 2018

I used the same hat pattern I always use. Just put the stitch pattern from the cardigan in the cuff instead of garter stitch.

The booties



Pattern: Seamless Garter Tassel Booties by Karen Strauss

Size: 6 months

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft
Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: Bone

Just like the hat, I used the usual pattern with some alterations, including using the stitch pattern from the cardigan in the cuffs.

The blanket


Pattern: I wanted something feminine in the edging, but not scallops. I found a very cute picot edging.

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft
Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: Bone

Crochet Hook: Size G

Started: July 22, 2018
