Ella’s Bitty Baby Lucy was needing some clothes to wear outside in the winter. Lucy usually comes with us on our trips to Scarborough/Bowmanville. I used the leftover bits from Ella’s new dolly Maggie to make up a bunting bag to keep Lucy warm.
It turns out that Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket is perfect.
Material: bits and pieces of Astra
Needles: 4 mm
Gauge: 5 sts to the inch
Follow the pattern. When finished, pick up the stitches around the bottom, remembering to overlap the button bands. Knit another 2 1/2 inches, then use the 3 needle cast off to create a bag. The sleeves are extra long for the doll, but that keeps baby’s fingers warm. Sew on buttons and we’re all set!
