I made this sweater for Guideposts Knit for Kids. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn and I made it to fit an older child according to the patterns on their website. This is the crocheted pattern.
I also knitted this lovely layette set with this pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. This yarn is Red Heart Soft Baby in blue, but I used two different skeins that were donated and they were not the same dye lot, so the cap and booties are a little darker. I modified this pattern to give it a shallow V-neck and I added extra buttons down the front. I made the 6-month size. This layette will be donated, along with several other baby items that were donated to me, to a maternity home or a crisis pregnancy center for Miracles Happen charity.
Finally, I knitted the cutest sweater for my adorable niece with the Lion Brand pattern above, but I modified the pattern and used the rosebud pattern from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker. I used Red Heart Soft Baby yarn in white and I made the 24-month size. My niece is just 2 years old and it appears to fit her well. Isn't she just a little doll?
