FO - Bitty Bolero (Updated)

#1

Does anyone know how to edit the title of a thread?

Okay updated to see my finished pics! I am so pleased with it! It’s now officially called “bitty bolero”.

I wanted to design something top-down with minimal seams because I don’t like bulky sleeve seems on baby stuff, and I had not yet seen a bolero baby pattern that was raglan style.

I pinned it shut with a saftey pin, I am not sure how I want to handle the button, I was thinking MAYBE a little wooden toggle and a crochet loop.

Its Oxford Kitchen Yarns, British BFL. It’s really nice to knit with. 4.5 stitches per inch on size 6.
Yahoo!! I am so pleased!

Oh I know. :teehee: For some reason I was thinking they were going to be very short though…more vest like although I don’t know why I thought that. They could actually go either way. Great job!

thank you so much for the tip, and for the sweet words :slight_smile: She’s my little doll. It’s so funny because when she was little people would mention modeling to me and I used to think “omg I would never do that with my child” then suddenly I realized, OMG I AM DOING THAT WITH MY CHILD hahaha. I didn’t even put 2 and 2 together!

:teehee: You’re doing it in a different way and this is the only acceptable way IMO. :wink: People used to say this to me about my first DD, too. Babies all get attention, but some seem to draw a different kind.
