Eid is just round the corner and I decided to knit some baby stuff as an Eid gift for BIL's baby boy. Baby Surprise Jacket (ravelry link) seemed to be the most ideal choice. I had knit one last year so it went faster and smoother this time. I decided to use all subdued tones. I used DK baby soft Bambino (a local acrylic brand) leftovers and 4mm needles.
The modifications I did were to turn the jacket inside out, so that instead of distinct stripes , I got blended colors. Secondly, I added a I-cord edging ( I just love the I-cord edging) to the jacket. All in all it turned out really well and it is better sized than my first BSJ.
I am a little rushed for time here, but if possible, I will try to knit white trousers to go with it, inshaAllah!
Cute Jacket your friend will love it. love how you change the stripe pattern and yes little trousers would be a cute addition.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern, and I think an i-cord edging is just ideal.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Although I still can't get my head round how that pattern works!!
ReplyDeleteI came accross your blog through Ravelry and spent some time reading the archives. You are such a talented knitter! As a mother of three myself, I wonder how you managed to complete so many beautiful projects with young children.
ReplyDelete@Shannon...Thank you for you kind words. My projects do often get in the way of housework or vice versa, :)
