Blue and White Baby Surprise
This BSJ is a long time coming but isn't it pretty? After knitting the light blue for what seemed like forever I decided that it was a little boring looking...well, maybe a lot boring...so I added the white and I love the way it came out!It is made of Hobby Lobby's Baby Bee Sweet Delight Twist in bare blue, 85% Acrylic/15% Polyamide. The label claims it is bulky weight but it seems more like a heavy worsted similar to the Red Heart yarns. Has anyone else noticed that Hobby Lobby's Baby Bee yarns are not labeled correctly? I used most of 2 skeins, 226 yards each, on size 8 needles. The white is some Utopia acrylic yarn that was left over from another project.
I think this one would probably fit about 9-12 months, maybe even to 18 months. It measures 11 inches across the chest when flat, so 22 inches circumference and 14 inches neck to hem.
I added fold back ribbed cuffs and did an I-cord bind off around the edges. I cheated on the shoulder seams and crocheted them together with the white yarn. I haven't decided on buttons yet. I need to go dig through my button boxes and see what I might have.
Yes, I have more than one box of buttons, shoe box size actually.

That is so pretty. I think most yarns are labeled wrong. I mostly go by a swatch. For instance, Brown Sheep Nature Spun worsted I work as a dk and the Lion Brand yarns are way off on their labels. I'm making an Adult Surprise right now verrrry slowly until my shoulder heals and I'm back up to speed. They are such neat sweaters to make.
Very nice additions to the BSJ!
I have 3 of 9 left at home and am homeschooling the last one.
