Hat and Mitts for Bailey


I have some light purple fingering weight yarn I bought to make booties, but since I made booties for Bailey using the Ranco, I decided she didn’t need a second pair quite yet. (Let’s see how the first ones fit!) But she did need MORE!!! I poked through some of the pattern books I had lying around and saw that the hat and mitts for the Little Boy Blue set in the Beautiful Baby book. Little boy blue whatevs … looks a bit girly to me. Well, done in pastel purple it looks totally girly! LOL I finished these fairly quickly over 2 days and I think they came out cute. Original plans included the slippers from that set, but I think it might be overkill. Instead of using a yarn cord on the mitts, I used some white sating ribbon. I will tell Rose that if it proves obnoxious I will make her some cords – I know less than nothing about babies, perhaps there is good reason not to use a ribbon! But anyway, they are done – here they are!
