Babette Baby Coat

Lion Brand^® LB Collection^® Organic Wool

GAUGE:

16 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) using larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Babette Baby Coat Reviewed by CHRISTINE VAN TASSEL on 2009-11-15
Wow. I am so impressed with this flawless pattern. I knit this in the smallest size for my 9 month old and the fit is fantastic. Sure, she won't be in it long but it knit up so quickly I look forward to making another. I made this one in wool for winter and the next one will be cotton for spring/fall. I love the minimal seaming and the pattern was flawless. I was inspired to try kitchener's stitch for binding off the hood (my first time doing it) and the result is absolutely beautiful. If you want to try it, simply divide your stitches on the circular needles, make sure the right sides are facing out, then work kitchener's stitch with the tail from the end of last row inward to the top/back of head. Lovely, flat, invisible bind off. I have made a lot of Lion Brand free patterns and this is the best one so far. Beautifully contoured but easy to do. This is a great first pattern for a shaped sweater to build skills and confidence. I won't make another boxy sweater ever again.
