I finished the Cutie Booties and the Easy Peasy Sock Hat for my friend’s gift. The last piece I wanted to add to the collection was a blanket. I have seen lots of cute custom blankets around lately and figured there has to be a tutorial around that could help me make a simple baby blanket. [...]

Cutie Bootie

This Saartje’s Bootees pattern by Saartje de Bruijn is a MUST HAVE in any knitter’s library. It is the perfect baby knit and the perfect use for remaining stash sock yarn.

Spoiler alert for Chelsea. I completed the baby outfit made for my future niece or nephew. This pattern is from One More Skein. I used Sky Blue Organic Cotton yarn and I so LOVED this yarn. I think this will be my go to yarn for baby sweaters from now on. It is made to [...]
