Knit Baby Set
the set has a cap, sweater and booties. I chose beige and yellow.It is ideal for a new born baby
During the 2020 Corona pandemic lockdown I have had time to pursue old forgotten hobbies like knitting. It's such a soothing, relaxing and satisfying pass time.
I still remember that I was introduced to knitting by my favourite teacher Mrs Sanober Khan when I was in class 5. I managed to make a pink baby sweater with a lot of help from my mum and aunt.
Life got so busy and I knitted a few things for my children and their cousins when they were kids.
Recently I got into the mood and with the help of Google and my own alterations I managed to make this baby set.
There are a pair of booties, a cap and a raglan sweater.
I have hand written the patterns and you can follow them row by row.
Try it. You will be so amazed at the result if you are a beginner fan of knitting.
