Bonnie, I already commented on your wonderful creations but when I saw the bag you made your DIL (I think that was who you made it for) I was bowled over by your talent. If you sold them in your Etsy shop I'd buy one ASAP!!!

Copycat, it’s called The 5 Hour Baby Sweater, and various versions have been around for decades. The pattern I used was this one: https://www.themakeyourownzone.com/w...er-updated.pdf

Some advice: It is knit from the top down, and the yoke will become very full before you divide for the sleeves. When your needle becomes crowded, switch to a circular needle and knit back and forth. Once you divide for the sleeves you can go back to using straight needles.

The sweater is little, one size only: About 3-6 month size. Perfect size for a new baby gift.

SusieQOH, thank you for your compliment! Why don’t you try and make one? It’s a great “ByAnnie.com” pattern.

Bonnie, I lack the confidence to make that bag. Yours looked like you bought it at a high-end boutique!
But maybe I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for the info.

THOSE are just adorable. You are one lucky gal that the DD wants custom outfits for her new baby.

It always seems more fun to make little girl clothes than little boy clothes. And you can go from this size to a size bigger and keep at until you notice she is wearing clothes like the other teens and not the ones you made her. :-p

the cloths you made for the new little baby are precious heirlooms. I can sew, but knitting is extremely difficult for me. I really admire that. beautiful work.

Lynnie is right about this. I have every hand-knit item that my relatives and friends made for my 3 boys. Also some handmade clothes but I didn't get as many. They are so special!

Thank you, friends!

DD just said today that she needs more sweaters, so back to the needles I go.
