Newborn Knitted Jacket

 I'm back today to show you, as promised, the little newborn knitted jacket I whipped up with leftover yarn from my pullover sweater from my previous post.

I have a upcoming baby shower to attend at the end of November so what better than a little jacket for the precious newborn to wear home from the hospital.

I am thinking that a little hat and shoes would go nicely with it, don't you think!

 By looking at my choice of colors....you guessed it.....it's a GIRL!

 It's all made from baby soft yarn in white with a striped pattern in the middle, of brown, dark pink and pale pink. The brown looks almost black in this photo....so sorry.....bad lighting today. The one below will give you a better view of the colors.

I used a size F crochet hook for the collar, following  THIS PATTERN until the bottom part. That's when I switched from my crochet hook to a size 6 knitting needle to finish the body and the sleeves.

Easy Peasy!

 Adding a border around the whole entire jacket makes everything fit together nicely. 

Add buttons and little appliques if you like to add another touch.

I hope I have given a new twist on making little jacket.

see you all again soon....
