This is a special luxury set of baby cardigan and bonnet knit in yummy lace-weight 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk. It has the most amazing softness, and it is very light weight. The color is a light lavender - the first photo shows it best. I knit this into a cardigan with a plain yoke and diamond patterned body. It opens down the front and closes with five pearly white buttons. To go with it there is a traditional-style baby bonnet with the same diamond pattern and a ruffle around the face edge. There are satin ribbon ties attached at the lower edges. The last photo tries to show you the ruffle and face edge. Measurements: 8" across shoulders; 8.5" across at underarms; 5.5" sleeve length; 8.5" length from center back to hem; bonnet 12" around face edge; about 7" around neck edge.

Welcome to Knitting Grandma!
​
I have been knitting for at least 7 decades, and yes it's true: I have a grandson who really called me Knitting Grandma! I love to knit for babies and children, and most enjoy making up my own patterns, so my garments are one of a kind.
If "hand knit sweater" makes you think of itchy wool, things have changed! I will admit to being a yarn snob. Life is too short to use cheap yarn! In the past decades there's been lots of development of innovative fibers and blends, like bamboo-sourced yarn. I favor natural fibers; my favorites are alpaca, merino wool, silk, and their blends. I will always try to tell you the yarn used for each garment.
​
A word about sizes: all babies are different and believe it or not, sweater size charts charts are all different too. I have included measurements for my garments to end confusion. But you don't have to chase a wiggling toddler with your tape measure: just find a garment that fits with some growth room and measure that.
All these pieces are washable: wash with other garments and dry flat.
If you have an idea for something special, please contact me!
