IT'S SO CUTE!
My sister-in-law is having a baby soon and requested a 10-12month old knitted thing for Winter 2021. Why yes, I can deliver! This is a pattern I have used before but this is a larger size. Previously, I made the newborn / 3 month size in a beautiful cornflower blue merino. This time I went for a lovely rich green by Bendigo Woollen Mills - do they ever get it wrong? No. No they don't. It's the colour 'Clover' in Luxury 4ply. Seriously, I think this has to be my favourite yarn for knitting. The white buttons came from my stash. Pre 2020 lockdowns I ordered 50 white buttons from eBay thinking they would be a great basic to have and boy was I right. The contrast between the green and white is adorable. If I have the choice, I don't think I would knit this pattern again. The body is simple with limited shaping. However, there are so many separate sections to pick up and knit: front crotch band, back crotch band, front left shoulder, front right shoulder, back left shoulder, back right shoulder, front neck, back neck. GROAN. It creates a nice finish, but mate is it tedious. Anyway, very happy it's done and now... onto the next thing!
