Baby Hats!

I forgot to post these when I made them!
Purple baby hat for our little girl, the other one was given to my husband's cousin for their baby of unknown gender. The baby has now been born, it turned out to be a boy.

Both hats made from Ice Yarn. Size should be about 3 months.

This week's finished items!

This week I started and finished an adults hat made with Stylecraft Chunky Harlequin, and a baby's waistcoat from the same yarn. In total, I used 2 balls. Last week I started a hat in Ice Yarn, making a ribbed hat. This took me a while because it was US sc in back loops only, so I had to concentrate to just do one loop. If I was to do it again, I would do US dc so that it goes a bit faster!
I put the waistcoat on a teddy to model it, the yarn is hard to photograph!

And here are the hats:

The purple one matches the baby hat I made our little girl.

And I had enough yarn left over to make 2 headbands!

Baby blanket for a friend

I wanted to make small granny squares for once, so I made this baby blanket for husbands cousin who is due October, they're keeping the sex a surprise so it has some boy and girl colours in it. Joining the squares was such a pain, no matter how I tried there was a ridge. I tried join as you go but I didn't like it, and it made joining the small squares to a big one rather tricky, so I frogged it. It's about 22".

Chunky baby blanket

Another item I made for our unborn girl! Took me ages because I ran out of yarn and couldn't find more for ages. It's a never ending granny square in King Cole Chunky. It took a massive 7-8 balls! No border on it. It worked up fast at first, then grew slower and slower. Towards the end, a ball would barely do 2 rounds.

Baby mittens

I made a set of baby mittens for our little girl, expecting her towards the end of January! Made with ice yarn, DK weight. 

It was a free pattern that said to use worsted weight, but mine ended up the same size and I followed the pattern exactly. I'm thinking of connecting the 2 together with a chain once she is born to go through coat sleeves as it will be winter when she arrives.
