We spent the weekend celebrating the christening of a good friend’s baby at the Jersey shore. We had a great time hanging out with friends we don’t see nearly enough. It was just like when we were in college except now we have a whole bunch of little ones to watch out for. So strange. As for the giving it seemed to me that a bonnet and booties set was in order for this sweet little girl so that’s what she got. Both were knit from Jaeger Roma — which I love and got on sale — in cloud (015) and blossom (011). I used Larissa‘s Feather and Fan Bonnet pattern and this Mary Jane Booties pattern. The gauge/yarn produced a small bonnet, just right for a two-month old head and the booties were also a perfect fit. You can find the details on the ravelry project pages but for the booties I switched colors on row 16. This is the same baby who now possesses last year’s February baby sweater and in the few moments I was able to steal her away from her adoring aunties and grandmother we were able to get a photo of her in all the handknits. Sweater, bonnet, and booties, I think she’s all set.
Sweet baby! And sweet knits! We were over in Jersey yesterday, too!
adorable knits!
Oh! What a sweet little bonnet! I love lavendar– people usually go straight for pink when it’s a baby girl, but I think lavendar is better.

How adorable! Your knits made the perfect gift!
Cute! Wonderful knitted hat! The color and the style unites that emphasizes the whole design. Great stuff for my toddler. Simple but too elegant! Well done.
