Three little buddies

Here they are,

P1010130

the 3 little friends I made for the little one.  They all sit quietly next to his bed and wait for him to be old enough to play.  I think they are quite exited and finding it hard to sit around and wait, but before they know it they will be dragged around on their ears and arms…….

 

Here is Chubby Bunny by Susan B. Anderson.

I used another yarn than the pattern called for, and I made him striped instead of one color.  I also added some light blue on the insides of his ears by using long stitch.  I didn´t make him a scarf,  I wanted his little turtleneck to show.  Other than that I think I followed the pattern for the most part.

Here he is again,

he is quite out going and a bit of a show off.

 

Here is Rabbid by Debbie Bliss (Nursery Knits).

I used another yarn than called for in this pattern, other than that I followed it.  I made his shirt different, it´s a little wrap-around tied at one side, I just thought it would be a little cozier……and that color matches his eyes perfectly too!

 

 

Here is Elefante, also a pattern by Susan B. Anderson.

I saw him on Ravelry and thought he was the cutes knitted elephant I had seen, so adorable!  I just had to make him for the little one.  I followed the pattern except for the ears, I knit them instead of crocheting them.  I knit a circle that I folded in halve and crochet  togeather before stitching them on his head.  I also made his tail a little different, I thread a few strings of the yarn through his backside, twisted it and then folded it in half and tied a knot (instead of making an i-cord).

This is my favorite photo of him:

I just love how he looks from behind, so darn adorable!

 

And here they are, the 3 buddies waving good-bye….

Ear-Flap for María

p1010258

The first doll clothes I have knit in years is María´s Ear-Flap hat.  I used the same yarn as I did for my other Flap hats, but I used smaller needles for this one.

Now all she needs is something to go with the hat, perhaps a pullover or a poncho.  We´ll think of something.  It won´t be lack of ideas stopping me from knitting more for her, it will be lack of time.

I am seriously thinking about stop sleeping all together, maybe I will get more done that way!

This is her first time out in the snow, it could be the reason why she looks slightly puzzled……or is it just me thinking she does??

I wanted to make her a blue hat, no stripes, no other color yarn, just the blue…….blue is her new favorite color.  She likes the Ear-Flap hats but I felt it would be too plain if it were done in one blue tone and stocking stitch, I had to have something else going on.

A simple decorative stitch that resembles little birds flying is what I chose to do.  Adding beads makes the hat sparkle a bit,  just the right thing!

She is very happy with it and wore it out as soon as it was dry and the last bead was sewn on.   The next step is to make one for her American Doll.  I already cast on and it won´t take too long to finish.
