Baby Coat

With a few days of hot weather here, a baby item to be knitted up is just what I need to keep me occupied as I hide from the heat.

I bought this wool a few weeks back and in the last couple of days I have nearly completed the back of the coat.




Up to the underarm is all lace and then stocking stitch takes over. Coat is knitted in 4 ply and has a matching bonnet to go with it.



Close up of the pattern.

There are 8 rows to this pattern with 7 stitches repeated. The bottom of the coat is a picot edging as well the collar and front edges.

Until next time....hoo roo
