Banana Cream Pie Baby Sweater Set

Description

This luscious baby set will make all who see it go bananas!

I knitted the sweater and hat in luxurious, warm, washable Merino wool. It's comparable to cashmere, only stronger and less apt to pill. The main color is cream and the patterns that are knit in are gold - very flattering to most baby complexions.

Sized to fit a baby from 6 months to 1 1/2 years old. The Merino yarn can be stretched when wet allowing you to use the sweater for a long time. Some babies will be able to wear it up to their 2nd birthday. The hat is made with a roll brim that can be turned down as baby's head grows. You'll probably be able to use the hat until your child is 3 years old or more. The actual measurements are:

Chest - 21 inches around
Length from Shoulder to Hem - 9 1/2 inches
Hat - 6 1/2 inches unstretched (easily stretches to 17 inches)

This is a challenging style to knit. It not only has Fair Isle designs knitted into the back and front, but it also has a detailed placket front which makes for easy dressing as well as chic style. The sweater is tipped at the sleeve, hem, and neck edges with the gold yarn.

Finally, the crowning touch is the bunch-of-bananas buttons on the sweater and hat. So cute. Expect lots of oohs and aahs.

This makes a wonderful baby shower present and comes beautifully gift wrapped in colorful tissue paper and satin ribbons.

This is an original BurryBabies design, knitted in my smoke-free, pet-free studio. It will be securely wrapped so that it arrives at your home in perfect condition.
