Needles: bamboo size 6 knitting needles
Pattern:Matinee Coat from a Plymouth Yarns booklet P594
Another grandbaby knit. I like this pattern very much. Its the first project I have knitted in this fashion. Its done from bottom up, but the bodice is knitted on after all the components are knitted first. Then knitted up from there. I like that type of construction and I think it looks pretty nice too. The yarn is a real dream, very soft, pretty colors, cheap pricing, and washable.

Hi -- your baby items are just lovely! But I want to give credit where credit is due -- the Saartje's booties are not my pattern; I just made my own pair. The pattern is by Saartje van Brujn, and can be found at http://www.saartjeknits.nl/archives/2007/05/
