FO Post: Keeping busy while the kids have been sick

Isn't it supposed to be summer? We've had a nasty virus here complete with double ear infections for all three kids, so here's what has been keeping me from losing my mind:

First up is a summer set I made for my daughter, Sophie. Both pieces were completed following Knitty patterns and were done in Ty-Dy 100% cotton from Knit One, Crochet Too (Color 423: Veranda) The hat is a modified version of Miss Dashwood, size 1-2 years. I omitted the earflaps and attached the ties directly to the hat under the bobbles. The top is Katja, following the instructions for size 18 months and knitting entirely in the round.

This second set was knit for my cousin's baby, due in October. Pink and green is her favorite color combination and this was made to match a Hanna Andersson opposite stripe playdress. The yarn is Knitpicks Swish Superwash in Bubblegum, Aloe and a tiny bit of Dublin for the leaf on the hat. The hat is Lilly's Hat from Stitch Marker and the sweater is the Raglan Sleeve Easy Baby Sweater modified to be newborn size.



Modeled by my favorite doll since I have no newborn handy:
