I finally finished the Bouncing Baby Set, well almost lol. Just have to make another legging and mitten. For someone who doesn't know how to use double pointed needles (which is me) to knit booties and mittens this is really a cute pattern to knit. The seams aren't really that noticeable and I think it's adorable. For my first go at it, I don't think I did too bad of a job. It just reminds me of something my Grandmother might have worn on my Dad. I've decided that since I don't know anyone with a new born baby to give it to that I'm going to get a pretty box and put things I make in it for my future grandchild. Either a boy or girl could wear Aqua, right? Guess I'll have to use more neutral colors. I followed the pattern for a 3 month old with #3 needles and used Bernat Softee Baby yarn. Wish I knew a 3 month old to see if it really fits. My friend's great niece is 1 year & 3 months and the leggings almost fit her but I guess acrylic stretches. Thanks Evie for letting me try my knitting on you for size. I'm going to finish this up and then.......WHAT SHOULD I MAKE NEXT?
The Bouncing Baby Set is in the Home Spun Hand knit book. There is a link below.
That is the last post you will have to see about this pattern! LOL. I just really liked it !
