Baby/toddler knitting

While I'm in end-of-year catch up mode, I realise that there is a cardigan which I knitted for my grandson back in February which I haven't blogged about.  He's obviously grown out of it now, but it did last for a few months!  This is the second version I've made from this pattern, but I made a larger size than the first, and used different colours and stripe sequence.

He's a happy little chap

The second item is a simple pom-pom hat for one of my daughter's friends who had a baby girl in the summer.

And the third and final bit of not-for-me knitting this year is a hat for my grandson.  This pattern originally came up as a project in my friends' activity feed on Ravelry and I thought it was so cute that I wanted to knit it anyway whether grandson wears it or not (we haven't really had much hat weather yet this winter).  It made a nice change to be knitting with 2.5mm needles rather than the 5mms I used for the ten of hearts cardigan, although I'm glad it was for a small item rather than an adult-sized cardigan!

Three different pom-poms - red, navy, and mixed

I wrapped this up and gave it to him for Christmas - it fits but didn't stay on his head for long, after all, who needs to wear a hat when it's warm indoors!
