I made this baby sweater and hat for a friend of mine, whose grand-baby was just born. It's a little large for a newborn, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used Mikey's tutorial to finally get it right. I had to "frog" it four times in order to get the collar worked out, which took a lot of time. It was frustrating, but I pushed through and am so glad that I did! This sweater is more like a 6-12months in size and was fairly easy to do, once I got the collar (yoke) to work the way I wanted it to. I think I'll make a few more with a smaller hook for the newborns.
Otie the Dog
I also made this cute little dog ami for the baby's older brother. I am told he was named "Otie," which seems very fitting for this little guy. He was a lot of fun to create and I followed a pattern that I got from Little Owls Hut. He stands about 7" tall and his ears and limbs can move. He even has a cute little tail. His eyes are crocheted circles with safety eyes attached and his belly-button button makes him complete. His colors are dark green and a burnt orange snout, which I'm told are Otie's owners favorite colors. He is also wearing a navy blue collar, but it can't be seen in the pictures. Enjoy your new home, Otie!
