I've decided to get a head-start on making baby items for my cousin who's expecting in May. She's found out it's a girl, and making knitted items is so much fun.
The latest project is a set of baby burp cloths and wash cloths that match. Always handy with a new baby.
Materials:
Size 10 knitting needles (straight or circular), worsted weight yarn, silk flowers/buttons, snap buttons, hot glue gun, scissors, needle and thread
Directions:
Cast on 55 sts. on size 10 needle
Row 1-2: Knit all
Row 3: Purl
Row 4-5 Knit all
Bind off and stitch two ends together to make a headband
Attach snap buttons to flowers and headband, and you now have interchangeable flowers for each headband design.
Materials needed:
Size 10 knitting needle (straight or circular)
Worsted Weight Yarn (any kind will do), I used Peaches & Cream and Sugar 'n Cream for mine
Silk Flower
Snap buttons
needle and thread
hot glue gun
With size 10 needle, CO 55 stitches.
Rows 1-5: Garter stitch (Knit All)
Bind Off
Stitch two ends together to make a headband.
Pick some silk flowers to go with your baby headband and clip the stems off. Glue one end of the snap buttons to the bottom of the flower and sew the opposite end of the snap button onto the headband. You can have multiple flowers for one band, as the flowers will be interchangeable with the snap buttons. Pretty simple and make for a great baby gift.
Enjoy!
