I've been baby knitting again, this time for Eleanor's sister-in-law who gave birth to a little boy last month. They've called him George.
I thought it would be nice to put a few things together for little George.
I knit the Twinkle Twinkle Baby Blanket by Helen Stewart back in 2021. There weren't any babies to knit for at that time but when Jack came along, Eleanor used it for him. This time I knew I was knitting for a boy so I chose the Dew colourway in the Drops Baby Merino range. It's a delicate baby blue and the yarn knits up beautifully, it's so soft, perfect for a baby.
This time I made the blanket a little bigger by knitting extra repeats of the pattern. It should make it last longer as George grows.
My go to baby cardigan pattern is the Baby Aosta Cardigan by The Knit Purl Girl, I've made quite a few of these in different sizes with different yarn for different babies and they always come out lovely. This time I've used King Cole Cherished DK in the Turquoise colourway. It's actually got more of a greeny hue to it than you can see here.
I bought a set of three cute sleepsuits to add to the gift which match the blanket perfectly, I think it made a lovely little welcome gift and Jacob's sister seemed pleased with it all.
