Sweet baby set

A great niece is having a baby boy in December. Perfect reason to knit another Iceling set!

The info on all the pieces are on Ravelry. Just click the linkies. This is the hat.


The mittens aren't included in the Iceling set but are Basic Baby Mittens by Kari Salvatore. They are just right and I did a single crochet chain with a size 7 hook to connect them to each other. Just trying to cut down on the chance of mitten lossage!


I was hoping to get the whole set out of 2 skeins of yarn and so when I had one mitten knit there was the decision of taking a chance on the bit of scrap of yarn left or breaking into that extra 3rd skein. I weighed the finished mitten and then weighed the yarn scrap. The both weighed the same.... Well I decided to live dangerously and go for it.

And this is the amount of yarn left after I finished the second mitten. Phew!!



The cardigan just tickles me. I think it looks like a little teeny tiny blue blazer. So grownup for a brand new baby...



I even found the silver crest buttons for it.


It looks so cozy and warm...perfect for a winter time baby.
