Etsy Feature – Overallas and Romper Knitting Pattern

by

I have seen lots of baby ruffle sewing patterns but this knitted pattern is so adorable

The Fall Duo Baby Romper Knitting Pattern is a lovely model that suits both boys and girls.

With this pattern you will be able to knit two versions of the model: a simple gender neutral version and a cute baby girl version with the ruffles on the straps and chest.

The romper is worked flat in just two pieces.
Easily knitted in stocking stitch, it has a beautiful rib in the back waist and leg openings. The romper features long straps that are buttoned up on the back waist.
Optional instructions to add buttons and buttonholes bands between the legs of the romper, for an easy access to the diaper, are included.

You can give a twist to this model by knitting the version that features ruffles on the straps and chest, with detailed instructions on the pattern.

FULL INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN IN THE PATTERN. You can purchase the pattern here via Etsy.

Knit a Sweet Hood Covered with Flowers

I happen to live in the Northern Hemisphere, but I know we have a lot of Southern Hemisphere friends, too, who are heading into the cooler months as we are warming up. Whichever one of the seasons you’re in, you might want to  stitch up this sweet little hood.

This pattern by saskie&co is called snug hood and it uses two colors of yarn to make a close-fitting pixie style hood (almost a balaclava but it doesn’t cover your face, though there is a neck covering portion to keep you a little warmer). You can use the fingering weight wool and mohair held together that are called for in the pattern, or use a single strand of DK weight yarn.

The neck portion and the edging around the face are worked in ribbing in a single color, while the body of the hat includes an allover colorwork flower pattern. The project is worked both flat and in the round and there is colorwork that is knit flat, which means you’ll have to purl in colorwork (which some people don’t like; also, you can’t see what you’re doing as well on the back of the work).

The pattern comes in one size and the colorwork is charted. Testers noted this is a quick and easy project and a great way to learn some new skills (chart reading, working stranded colorwork flat) if you’ve never tried those things before. They noted the hood is cute, comfortable and warm, and a few said it didn’t take as much yarn as the pattern suggests, so bear that in mind if you’re trying to use stash.

Speaking of the pattern notes, check out all the cute color variations in the projects on Ravelry. From pink and red to blue and white to gray and cream, there are lots of great options to think about.

You can buy this pattern on Ravelry.
