I knit this for my colleague’s new son. I couldn’t find just the right shade of our university’s Owl Blue, but this is close enough. Seriously, this may be the most fun I’ve ever had knitting. I don’t usually knit for babies as they, well, grow out of things so quickly. I had a hankering to make a baby vest, and when I saw the Owl Baby Vest pattern, I could not resist.
I used just under two skeins of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and Knitter’s Pride size 2 needles. I prefer my Addi Clicks lace tips for most knitting, but I especially like the Knitter’s Pride dpns. The tips stay strong.
I may just take up baby knitting more often!
How about you…what is the most fun thing you’ve knit?
It is adorable!! I have done the owls on a pair of socks and think they are really fun to knit. I have yet to do a baby vest though. maybe next on the list 🙂
That is perfect for a Westfield baby!
Wow! I love it!
Cute! I am in love with the owl cables.
Adorable is the only word for that (or the only one I can think of right now) ! I’ve been wanting to knit an owly something but it’s a little cute for me. But for a little one? perfect.
Most fun lately might have been the Aviatrix hat. So entertaining in construction, and so speedy!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it Amazing adorable
I adore owls, but unfortunately I’m a crocheter, and not a knitter! Thanks for sharing your talent!
