Adam's Eden

Another singlet, this one is a size 6mths, knit in scrap white cotton with Cascade cotton rich DK.

Sleep bag

When I was testing the tikki singlet pattern (originally called Simplicity, now known as eden's adam), I thought it would make a great sleep bag so here I did! It is knitted in Cleckheaton silkee to fit a young infant. I love it very much! Could also work as a dress I think without the drawstring.
Knitted for the tiKKi kal. There many fantastic entries.

Aotearoa

Black singlet in Lily Sugar & Cream with NZ map on the front.

 

He is also wearing Av's Baa Bum guitar longies (J's now).

Crocheted tank

Crocheted tank top for baby in Blue Sky Alpaca skinny organic cotton (8ply). Its a little small/short for J but I love it anyway. It has a little button on the front.

J has been taking more steps on his own.

Cotton tee

I saw this pattern and it was similar to what I tried to make just last week, so I started it right away with scraps of organic cotton and  Sierra (wool/cotton).

I used 10ply with 5mm to hopefully fit J.

Small things in soy

A seamless crochet singlet which I am happy with though a little tight on J.

I had thought of making baby underwear for a while. Here is my attempt. I am happy with them.

The singlet and underwear are crocheted in soysilk.

Also another pair of slippers, this time in Karaoke soy/wool.

Malabrigo singletsuit and slippers

 

I had an idea for a crochet singlet early one morning and crocheted this suit up that day. I am very happy with it though its a little tight on J. It has buttons for a crotch opening. 

These slippers were so quick and easy. Made in Malabrigo which is nice to work with.

Steps

J spent most of yesterday evening, getting up to stand then take a few steps at a time. He was quite impressed and delighted with himself. He also stands up to dance. His balance is improving all the time.
His sister and brothers are in awe of their baby brother growing up. We all are.

He is wearing his new toddler sized singlet made from beautiful Debbie Bliss Fair Trade eco cotton in purple. It barely (if ever) splits and its so soft. I would love some more.

Standing little man

My little boy is standing. He has been for a few weeks as he takes his hands up from cruising but lately he has been just getting up in the middle of the floor to stand.

Latest singlet with longer length to fit my growing boy. Its knitted with cotton/ wool Cascade Sierra.

Organic Singlet

J is due for some toddler singlets (I must have an aversion to store bought singlets as J only has a couple and rarely wears them.) so this is a lovely organic one. The yarn is Peruvian organic cotton and its knitted in 2 colours. I knitted 55 rows for extra length.

Ribbed singlet

My little boys and I have severe colds at the moment so its been slow with the knitting. I wanted to make a ribbed version of my singlet pattern. Its longer too. Knit with Cleckheaton natural cotton 8ply. Its splitty but gorgeous as far as cotton goes.

Purple singlet

Handmade singlet from my own pattern and to make it more interesting, I dyed it purple.

10ply cotton singlet/tank

We have had a few tough days,just lack of sleep basically. Also J biting while feeding which is no fun.

Here's my pattern for 10ply singlet. Great for Summer as a tank with a favourite nappy or for extra warmth under a shirt in cold places like Melbourne.

I have made a few of these but this is the first time I wrote down the pattern. I am not a designer or a pattern writer and it needs testing.
Fits about an average one year old. Please note cotton tends to shrink in the wash lengthways .

Myriad of faces

Last blue singlet in this cotton.





I love how many facial expressions appear on my son.



He can seem hiliarously happy to sad to curious to serious and even more in such a short time.
