I finished my stack of little baby tank-tops. These are the gender neutral ones:
Here is the pink one (just in case) – The color is not accurate, by the way. It is not nearly this bright and glowing in real life. My camera doesn’t do well with pink or red…
… with cute buttons:
The elephant one is the only one that isn’t plain. It was the last one and I was getting bored with this very boring pattern. Here is a close-up of the elephants because they are so very cute:
I used the chart from this pattern. I should have swatched first, though, because I think I could have made them a little better if I had. Oh, well.
These were made following the Baby’s Bamboo Singlet pattern out of the book 101 Luxury Yarn One Skien Wonders. I used Knit Picks Risatta. (Ravelry Project Page Link) I did change the pattern to knit in the round, but other than that it is a perfectly fine pattern, if not a little boring.
I have some left over yarn that I am experimenting with to see if I can get one more little shirt out of it. I didn’t want to do boring stripes, so I am playing with some slipped stitches. I don’t know if I will have enough to make the whole shirt, but this is what I have so far. Slipped stitches take less yarn, right?
Now, if I have a girl, I will just add some flowers to the blue tops, and if I have a boy, I will give the pink one to my new knitting buddy who is having a girl that same week. Lots of babies are on the way! Yippee!
Love the shirts and the project bag in that last picture! Elephants are waaaay cute. As are the little red buttons.
Very cute! I think everyone’s having babies at the moment, i’m swamped with cot quilts to complete for customers. Though, oddly, i’d rather be knitting…
How cozy they all look! Love the elephants!
They are really cute, especially the elephants.
