Boaty McBoatneck

 

At the beginning of March, I had an urge to knit something. I rummaged through my knitting patterns, and found one which someone gave me a while back - and in The great Stash, there was enough yarn to knit it up. The pattern had two variations - a hood, or a boatneck. I didn't think I had quite enough wool for the hoodie, and I like to give Mums jumpers which go easily over a baby's head.

I knitted up the 6-12 month size. But when I'd finished, I felt the boat neck was quite generously sized. I think that baby in the grey jumper has been carefully posed! I added a couple of buttons and loops at the side of the neck, and I think it will fit better. It is going into the 'Present Drawer' until I find a little one to give it to.

This young man is getting really big now, he's had his first haircut and his first trip to the library. He will be two next month!

He looks even taller when he is standing on tiptoe! Definitely a cheeky chappie.
