My good friend from German group recently had her second child, a gorgeous little girl. She and I have been through a few things together, so I knew that I wanted to knit something special for her new arrival.
For some reason I had a grey and yellow combination in my head, but when it actually came around to it I picked these pinks for the little tunic.
It’s such a sweet little pattern, and can be found on Ravelry.
I used various colours of some leftover DROPS Baby Merino.
It knit up really quickly, even though the pattern called for 3.25mm needles.
I also knit her a pair of my version of Saartjes Bootees.
I am very pleased with the final result of both the little tunic and the booties.
My friend’s little girl is such a cutie and she’s been wearing her outfit already, doesn’t she look darling in it?
