While a few colors are showing as out of stock on the website right now, you may be able to find them locally, and even if you don’t use the yarn in question, you’ll want to check out these adorable projects developed for the yarn.

The Coral Cutie Hat and Booties and the Square on Square Baby Blanket are really cute and pretty easy, too. The hat and booties are worked flat in Garter Stitch, while the blanket is worked from the outside in, in Garter Stitch in the round.

They are really cute, fun projects that are sure to brighten any baby’s nursery, and even with lightweight yarn they should be pretty quick to knit.

Have you been working on any baby things lately? I’d love to know what you’re making.

  1. What a nice, simple baby blanket! I love using Red Heart, but I also find some treasures just browsing at the craft store. I recently bought several skeins of Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret to make a blanket from my cousin’s baby.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

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.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
