There's some exciting news in my family. My baby niece is having a baby! Oh let the baby knitting begin.
I've had this football cocoon and hat pattern queued for some time because my niece and her husband are big football fans. Thought this would make the perfect little photo prop for their new baby. It was an easy knit and I was so excited that it was on and off the needles and in the mail in a matter of days.
The suggested yarn is a super bulky weight (a little harder to find in wool-free versions) so I used Berrocco Chunky and doubled it. It worked well. And the color (5727 Spanish Brown) is the same as a real football.
The baby is not due until December 5th so there will be lots more baby knits to come. Do you have a favorite baby pattern? I'm looking for lots of ideas.
SO cute!!!
