Color Block Duffle Coat and Matching Blanket

The COLOUR BLOCK DUFFLE AND BLANKET IN SNUGGLY DK is an adorable and cozy set that is perfect for keeping your little one warm and stylish. The double-breasted duffle coat features raglan sleeves and is paired with a coordinating blanket, both are part of the Building Blocks collection of modern knitting patterns for babies.

The pattern is easy to follow and suitable for newer knitters, using basic garter stitch throughout. The blanket offers a great introduction to the intarsia technique, which is used to neatly join blocks of color with no gaps. The Snuggly DK yarn is soft and gentle against the baby’s skin, making it perfect for baby garments.

It is also easy to care for, machine washable and available in a wide range of colors, making it easy to customize the set to your liking.

This pattern is a great choice for knitters who want to create a cute and cozy set for their baby, with a easy and fun to knit design.

The duffle coat and blanket set is perfect for colder weather and versatile enough to wear casually or dressed up. It can also remind you of Paddington Bear, the famous fictional character who is known for his duffle coat and hat.

So, grab your needles and yarn and get ready to create a beautiful and functional set that will be a staple in your baby’s wardrobe for years to come.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
