Baby traditional knit vest size 86/92 with intarsia cable





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Not just for Oktoberfest season...

For this special sleeveless baby vest without buttons, we need:

150 g merino wool in gray + 50 g merino wool in red, here Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, 50 g – 120 m yardage, gauge according to the label: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm, knitting needles 3.0 – 4.0; here: knitting needles 4.0, cable needle, crochet hook 3.5 for the bow, stitch holder or similar for holding stitches, yarn needle for weaving in ends, stitch marker is helpful.

The PDF pattern is illustrated.

The red cable on the back is worked in intarsia technique (illustrated explanation is included) and requires some time and skill - so I would not recommend it for beginner knitters. The cable also looks lovely in solid gray, and then the whole piece is knitted up quite quickly. For beginner knitters, I therefore recommend knitting this vest completely without the cable and/or in one color .

The doll child is well protected from the sun.

Materials: green and orange yarn (yardage approx. 200 m /50 g), crochet hook size 2, yarn needle, darker green yarn for embroidering, scissors,
pinsHere’s the hat

Babies naturally need lots of things in summer too. Here I’d like to show you a few of my patterns from my shop:

____________________
These baby rattles are a wonderful toy. They are nice and soft and help develop babies’ coordination and urge to move, since they make sounds when moved. The crochet pattern includes all three rattles: knight, princess, and pirate. The rattles are also great for using up leftover yarn and, of course, also make a lovely baby shower or newborn gift.

____________________
Babies need a lot of warmth, and the body loses a lot of heat through the head in particular. That’s why babies always need a hat in the first months of life. This baby hat is not only quick to crochet, but also very practical with its earflaps, as they keep the ears nice and warm too. You can also crochet the hat to suit the season by using either warm winter yarn or lighter summer yarn.

____________________
The “Marie” baby blanket is a great companion in the first months and years of life. It is cuddly soft, keeps babies nice and warm, and can still be used for toddlers too. It is crocheted a little larger (80 x 100 cm), so you can simply fold it double to cover babies at first and later use it single for toddlers. It is also a great blanket for covering children and babies in the car.
