Many of you have asked how to add a collar on to my baby jacket patterns. The very talented Chris Hunter (a member of my facebook group) has done this many times, and has been kind enough to share her 'how to' instructions. Here are her beautifully knitted Babbity Baby Jackets with a collar added. So sweet. Babbity Baby Jacket with a Collar Knitted by Chris Hunter Babbity Baby Jacket with a Collar Knitted by Chris Hunter For top-down cardigans ~ including Babbity With wrong side facing, pick up and knit a stitch for each cast on stitch at the neck edge except for the first 3sts and the last 3sts Next Row: K4, purl to last 4sts, k4 Next Row: Knit Next Row: K4, purl to last 4sts, k4 Repeat the last 2 rows 3 times more for large preemie size, 4 times more for newborn size, 5 times more for 3months size …….. (You can easily adjust here by working fewer rows for smaller sizes / or adding more rows for bigger sizes) Knit 4 rows Cast off loosely (you might like to use a stretchy cast off, or a larger needle) For bottom-up cardigans ~ Instead of casting off all the stitches at the neck edge – Cast off the first 3sts only, knit to end. Next Row: Cast off 3sts, k3, purl to last 4sts, k4 Next Row: Knit Next Row: K4, purl to last 4sts, k4 Repeat the last 2 rows 3 times more for large preemie size, 4 times more for newborn size, 5 times more for 3months size ……..

Melika Melika Baby Vest Top There are so many very pretty self-patterning yarns available now. It means that you can make lovely garments without having to use lacy or complicated stitches. I love to use stitches that I haven't done before - but sometimes there is satisfaction in doing simple plain stocking stitch. It's important to choose a nice design shape that you like ~ that way you will be happy with the results. This cute little baby vest top is knitted all in one piece and there are no seams - perfect for those who hate sewing up!
