baby bubble knit sweater

made this bubble knit sweater pattern but baby sized! just used thinner yarn (4 weight) and thinner needles (3.75 mm) than the pattern asked for and it worked out

super cute i think. and a fun color combination.

here’s the pattern from paintbox yarns:

cable knit baby beanie

another attempt at a cable knit beanie for baby

(first attempt was way too small)

it came together pretty fast using weight 4 yarn and 6.5mm double pointed needles (even though the pattern called for thinner needles)

nice braid looking cable pattern, not too difficult

baby cable knit sweater

made a baby cable knit crewneck sweater with an interesting cable pattern for my baby

it was intermediate but not too challenging. just took a lot of counting and keeping track of where in the pattern you are.

also made a matching knit bow for extra cuteness

used this berroco yarn baby poonam sweater pattern:

made the 6 months size

also crocheted the buttons from scratch

baby cable knit cardigan

made this tiny pink cable knit cardigan for my baby

it came together pretty quickly and wasn’t too hard

also made a matching bow for good measure

chunky knit cardigan

attempted a chunky knit cardigan with 3 balls of bernat blanket yarn

ended up free styling the edging and made it a shawl collar, but i think i went overboard and made it too wide

so i ran out of yarn and used some orange i had leftover from previous years

used this pattern from lion brand except didn’t do the edging cuz i didn’t have a super long circular needle to pick up the stitches

instead i sort of followed the shawl collar part of the baby cardigan pattern that’s just a vertical strip of rib that i increased then decreased and sewed onto the edge of the cardigan

it turned out to be more like a short robe than a cardigan

colorblock baby knit hoodie

made it colorblocked because didn’t have enough of any single color of yarn left

used the pattern from yarnspirations:

pattern here:

used weight 4 yarn and size 7 needles

banana sweater

banana looked cold so used some more scrap yarn to knit a sweater

the sleeves are not functional because i ran out of the leftover yarn

[sunovastitch]

teeny knit beanie

wanted to make a baby sized beanie with the yarn leftover after dingle’s green sweater, but this was as much as i could make

[sunovastitch]

rib turtleneck dog sweater

made yet another turtleneck dog sweater

this pattern from drops was very simple

mostly 2x2 rib from the neck down. split for arm holes and then rejoin together.

used weight 4 yarn and size 5 needles

cute denim jacket looking sweater

pattern from yarnspirations: https://www.yarnspirations.com/bernat-jean-jacket-sets/BRK0238-005818M.html?cgid=patterns

pattern here: https://www.yarnspirations.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-master-catalog-spinrite/default/dwd0c23fa8/PDF/BRK0238-005818M.pdf

this one took about 4 days to make. lots of seed stitch and lots of sewing together the pieces and sewing on buttons

used weight 3 yarn (bernat softee baby) and size 5 needles

used just a little bit more than one ball of yarn (362 yards per ball)

zigzag patchwork baby cardigan

found a funny patchwork knitting pattern where you knit a bunch of squares then sew them together to make a cool zigzag pattern or a checkerboard pattern

found the pattern from woolly thoughts here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/4-by-4-baby-sweater

turned out pretty big, maybe fits a 1 year old

used weight 4 yarn and size 10 needles (6 mm) and made squares diagonally made out of a white triangle and a black triangle

then involved a lot of stiching 48 squares together with the yarn tails

newborn cable knit hat

this hat turned out quite tiny and was quite quick to make

found the pattern on this site: https://crazyhands.net/newborn-baby-cable-knit-hat-pattern/

used weight 4 yarn and size 5 double pointed needles

baby knit pumpkin hat

super quick to knit this one

found the pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/berry-baby-hat

here’s the pattern: https://pdf-inline.ravelrycache.com/msabatier/498213/BERRY_BABY_HAT.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJNNSUP6J3RN4WZYQ&Expires=1661909278&Signature=UTPMauTbbtFk8gBhT4IBiqKv3Kw%3D&key_expires=1661909278&key=Y-rsIyovQrssiXhmCpvhUg

made it cuz i happened to have some orange and green yarn lying around

it is supposed to fit newborns but it’s not as small as i expected it to be, maybe because i used 6.5mm double pointed needles instead of size 7 or 8 with weight 4 yarn

can make other fruits with other colors

baby knit pullover

knit this basic sweater and it turned out quite tiny but cute

it’s supposed to fit 6 month old babies but it looks a bit small to me

took about 2 days to knit, using weight 4 yarn and size 5 (3.75mm) circular and double pointed needles (which is smaller than the pattern suggested) (which might be why it’s so small)

got the pattern from yarnspirations: https://www.yarnspirations.com/caron-top-down-knit-pullover/CAK0229-009930M.html

here’s the pattern: https://www.yarnspirations.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-master-catalog-spinrite/default/dw78854092/PDF/CAK0229-009930M.pdf

baby chunky knit shawl collar cardigan

found a cute baby sweater pattern on yarnspirations

i just made the smallest size which is for 6 month olds but not sure if it will fit

found the pattern from here: https://www.yarnspirations.com/bernat-shawl-collar-cardigan/BRK0229-004355M.html?cgid=patterns

here’s the pattern file: https://www.yarnspirations.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-master-catalog-spinrite/default/dw5597cae5/PDF/BRK0229-004355M.pdf

used almost exactly 2 balls of bernat softee chunky yarn (weight 6, 108 yards per ball) in eucalyptus

and just used the double pointed 6.5mm (size 10.5) needles that i had

it took only about a day and a half to make

cropped raglan sweater

finally felt like knitting again

used the same weight 3 baby sport yarn as i did for the previous human sweater

found this pattern on yarnspirations and just took about 8” of length off of the torso:

https://www.yarnspirations.com/stitch-club-raglan-color-block-knit-sweater-%2B-tutorial/CAK0129-030389M.html?cgid=patterns

it took 5 days to finish. one for the front panel, one for the back panel, one for one sleeve, one for part of the second sleeve (fatigue from the previous long nights was settling in), and one for the rest of the second sleeve and the neck and finishing

the arms are the perfect length and fit. i made the largest size of the pattern because my yarn was thinner

very happy with the result

silly dog booties and ear covers

dingle’s ears had abrasions and peeling skin. i think it was from too much sun tanning. so to prevent him from scratching his ears and making them worse i made some booties.

i started with one but then his other ear started looking bad too so i made a second one. then i made another pair so he had a pair for indoor use and a pair for outdoor use.

the booties were really quick and easy to make using this pattern from youtube: https://youtu.be/Ao8AU0NgjKw

i also tried making an ear cover to protect his ears but it looks like a weird bra hat and doesn’t stay on. i just freestyled it, making two domes and connecting them with a wide band.
