Baby Patterns

I find sizing can be confusing when knitting Baby items The Craft Yarn Council Site has a Baby size chart that is good for sweater sizing and Bev’s Country Cottage has an abundance of information and patterns.  Crochet Rochelle has a hand size chart I have found useful.

My all time favorite baby sweater is the 5 hour sweater, I got the original from http://www.woolworks.org/. Over the years I have made the original, turned it into a set by adding a hat, mittens and booties. I even downsized it for a Preemie version. The Fiber Gypsy’s hooded version turned out nice http://www.fibergypsy.com/patterns/swtrhood.shtml and Ó Gail Bable’s boy version has been well received http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-boy-5-hour-sweater
