Baby Gift Details

Last week I posted pictures of a gender neutral baby gift I had prepared for a friend's baby shower. Today I will explore box # 2 of my 'baby shower tower'.


The Organic Cotton Baby Bolero is a pattern from Leigh Radford that can be found in the book "One Skein". It is a relatively simple pattern that knits up very quick. In a neutral color, it is a perfect choice for a baby boy or girl. The thing I love most about this pattern is the sweet eyelet
detail on the back:
It is beautiful details like these that really sell me on a garment.

The second item in box #2 is an organic cotton hat with interchangeable ribbon. Knit in the round, the hat starts with a seed stitch brim and a rows of eyelets to feed the colored ribbon (or in my case, braided yarn) through. I like giving something that has an option of personalization! This is an original pattern that I plan on putting up for free as soon as my Etsy holiday rush is complete.

Stay tuned for box #1 & #3!
