I am doing the original sized pattern...my boyfriends sister just had twin girls and this is so perfect for christmas gifts...it did say 6-9 months for the original size but it seems larger than that but I don't know how to judge baby clothes and I'd rather them have sweaters to grow into rather than too small lol thanks!

I had the original pattern but got married and somehow in the shuffle of moving house, lost a lot of my knitting patterns and this was one of them. I have searched for years to try and find the exact pattern that uses the larger needles but until today, to no avail. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I have a neighbor that has a baby due this spring and I know how beautiful these are when completed and really wanted to make it for the upcoming event. Thanks again for finding this vintage pattern, it really is old, but makes a stunning gift. Every one I've made has had the baby brought home from the hospital in theirs... :o)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787412018515997070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223623511418769645.post-18894591165599496402014-10-23T16:32:58.947-07:002014-10-23T16:32:58.947-07:00I am so thankful for everyone who emailed me that ...I am so thankful for everyone who emailed me that there was a problem.

Putting the lake and knitting together is perfect. Am I in heaven? My Granddaughter is just 1 yr. old, but I have given her 3 balls of bright colored yarn to play with & they r 3 of her favorite "toys".

The change in different thicknesses of the yarn combined with the different size of needles affects the gauge and finished size of the sweater. So yes, all sizes are knit with the same numbers.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601926981102367271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223623511418769645.post-67576259205294599752013-04-19T18:59:00.742-07:002013-04-19T18:59:00.742-07:00question: my mum is trying this pattern and doesn&...question: my mum is trying this pattern and doesn't do the internet so asked me.

I've done this pattern 3 times now and have found the following errors:<br /><br />Row 8, should be, "to last 3 sts, k3"<br />Row 12, should be, "to last 3 st, k3"<br />Row 20, should be, "to last 3 st, k3"<br /><br />You can count until you're blue in the face but unless you change those 3 rows, the st count will not work out. It's not the counting ... the pattern is wrong. :)Ms Mackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444015911634341482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223623511418769645.post-71245181494791795152012-07-22T07:40:19.947-07:002012-07-22T07:40:19.947-07:00Dear Cathy,

There I write about my memoirs as they conjure my knitting and crocheting and literature. I've knitted since I was 6 and now looking forward to retirement. Then I may become a fulltime knitter. Please come visit me. I will start knitting the baby jacket now.<br />Be happy.Undermyskeinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975791577956382717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223623511418769645.post-63513621397934025532012-03-21T23:48:38.217-07:002012-03-21T23:48:38.217-07:00Do you have a copy of the Jiffy Baby Bonnet patter...Do you have a copy of the Jiffy Baby Bonnet pattern? My mom literally knitted 1,000's of these from the 70's. She liked to knit them for friends, family and charity. I'd like to continue her tradition and have her photocopy of the Baby Jiffy Knit Set. Her original pattern deteriorated. Unfortunately, there are a few lines missing. Your pattern here fills in the gaps for the sweater, but I am unable to find one for the Jiffy Baby Bonnet. I hope you can help me out.Mariquitanoreply@blogger.com
