An ideal way to use up part cones of good quality 4 ply Acrylic

Baby Cardigan with Wide Stripes from Book 77 Classic round neck cardigan with drop shoulders. Quick to knit and the colour changes add the style. Sizes 16"-22" and good quality 4 ply Acrylic  from Uppinghams throughout.
The warm jumper in this set has shoulder button fastening to make dressing easy. A button could also be added to the V opening if required for extra warmth.

Go for the traditional look in pastels or choose zingy brights for a thoroughly modern look!

 

Baby Jumper with Shoulder Fastenings from Book 77
Baby Top in Lace with Short Sleeves from Book 77 Short sleeved lacy top in the same 4 ply yarn, the neckband is designed to make dressing easier. 

Combine with the round neck or V neck cardigan to make a set

Warm knitted trousers with ample rise at the back waist and double turned ankle cuffs for extra warmth.

Can be made with the stripes and colour changes to match the cardigan or jumper or could be knitted in a denim blue with contrasting ankle cuffs for a different look.

Baby Trousers from Book 77
Baby Cardigan with V Neck and Cable Detail from Book 77 The classic 4 ply, V neck cardigan, quite plain with just a touch of colour on the bands, the stocking stitch is lifted with the cable detail on the front.

A seriously useful baby book! Sized from 16" -22" chest, these garments will fit from birth to about 18 months, depending on the baby. All knitted in good quality 4 ply Acrylic yarn, they will launder easily and quickly so that the maximum amount of wear can be had from them. 

With these really good, every day designs, you can get the effect you want just by choosing different colours:

  • standard colours - like the lemon and marine blue above, suitable for girls and boys; the trim on the V neck cardigan could be chosen to match a favourite dress or trousers
  • pretty pastels for the newborn or for girls, if mum is traditional, or if the outfit is for special occasions
  • bright colours for babies with modern mums, zingy primary colours or more unusual colour combinations, there are no rules these days!
  • brights with black or denim blue, especially for mobile babies crawling or toddling, ideal for boys on the move
  • whether pastels or brights, you don't have to limit yourself to just 2 shades, look through those part cones, if you have an eye for colour you are sure to find some pleasing combinations.
