A friend in my art books group recently had a baby. While she was pregnant we had a conversation about crafts and she mentioned that it would be great to be able to knit and make things for the baby. I chimed in with something along the lines of "I love knitting baby things! I wish I knew more pregnant people so I could make more baby things!"
So I pulled out my knitting needles and whipped up a couple adorable baby things. First was a sweet little baby sweater. I used the Baby Boy 5 Hour Sweater pattern on Ravelry. It was an easy pattern, but it did take longer than 5 hours... (Mostly because of interruptions and figuring out a pattern for the first time. It took less than 2 weeks which is quick for me.)
The second thing I made was a pair of teeny tiny boxing gloves for the baby. (Link to the pattern here.) My friend named her baby Sylvester because of the Rocky movies, so I thought a pair of boxing gloves would be fitting. I was finally able to deliver the baby things over the weekend, and it looks like the little guy loves them!
