Edwardian Carrying Cape

This is going to be for Baby Louise, Windy's baby who is due December 21st. I chose this instead of a Lace Christening Shawl for several reasons. 1) It has the lace effect without the tedious knitting on tiny needles. 2) It's quicker and easier to make. 3) It's pretty damn cute. The pattern is from Oat Coutoure, I'm using size 5 straight 14" needles and 100% acrylic Barisienne yarn from Bergere de France.

Baby Surprise Jacket

This is the start of an Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern from Schoolhouse Press. It was originally published in 1968 as Newsletter #21. This little garter stitch baby sweater only has two seams and it's reversible. It will "grow" with the baby. This version is made on a size 7 24" circular needle with washable acrylic/rayon Sunsette yarn from Plymouth Yarn. You can use larger needles and heavier weight yarns and make larger sizes, including adult.
