Joys Knitting Patterns

(Babies and Children)

The photos of knitted items are my attempts (and I'm not a knitter!) Joy's patterns are easy to follow as I have proved by my efforts
	Pattern #501 Dress and bonnet for a 2" Baby An easy pattern to knit Takes 1 ball of yarn, 2 buttons or beads, and narrow silk ribbon
	A note from Christine re: photo of knitted samples above For my first attempt I knitted this pattern in our pink and ivory silk cashmere & viscose (see knitting wools page) on No.19 needles, but I knit very tight and the resulting dress just fitted a rubber baby. The other dress & bonnet were knitted in 1 ply on 18's
	Pattern #502 Jacket, Leggings, Bonnet, for a 2" Baby An easy pattern to knit Takes 1 ball of yarn, 2 buttons or beads, narrow silk ribbon
	Pattern #503 Christening Dress and Bonnet for a 2"-3" Baby Knit plain or patterned. Plain is easy, patterned is more difficult of course Takes 1 ball of yarn, 2 buttons or beads, and narrow silk ribbon
	Pattern #504 Two Shawls & a Carriage Cover Each Shawl takes 1 ball of yarn plus narrow silk ribbon. A good starter for those not used to miniature knitting The Carriage Cover takes 1 ball of yarn and narrow silk ribbon
	The patterned shawl is knitted in ivory, silk and cashmere yarn - it drapes beautifully! (see knitting wools page) The ribbon-threaded shawl is knitted in white, 1 ply acrylic and threaded with 2mm-wide silk ribbon
	Pattern #505 Rompers for a 3" Crawling Baby Not difficult. Has a buttoned bottom so you can change a diaper easily Takes 1 ball of yarn and 5 buttons or beads
	Pattern #506 Carrying Cape with hood Booties, for a 2" to 3" Baby. A nice introduction to patterned knitting Takes 1 ball of yarn and narrow silk ribbon

	Pattern #507 Dress, panties, tam for a 3" girl Easy knitting. Takes 1 ball of yarn, plus a small amount of a contrast colour, 3 buttons or beads and narrow silk ribbon		Pattern #508 Short trousers, sweater, tam for a 3" boy Easy knitting Takes 1 ball of yarn, a small amount of a contrast colour, and three buttons or beads
	Pattern #515 Intarsia 'Train' Sweater for a 4" to 4-1/2" Child Stocking stitch, so the intarsia is the only difficult part Takes 1 ball of yarn for the main colour, plus small amounts of 5 other colours Joy used Red, Blue, Yellow, Green for the train and Black for the wheels and smoke		Pattern #516 Intarsia 'Bunnies' Sweater for a 4-1/2" Child Stocking stitch with intarsia bunnies. A bit of embroidery Takes 1 ball of yarn for the main colour, plus small amounts of 3 other colours Joy used White, Grey and Pink. You can use narrow silk ribbon to tie around the neck of the middle rabbit if you wish
	Pattern #524 An elaborate Christening Gown for a 2" to 2-1/2" baby This pattern ( Elaborate Christening Dress #1) is more difficult to knit than an 'easy' pattern. However, if you have patience and enjoy a challenge, you will be really pleased with the result The Dress and bonnet take 1 ball of yarn		Pattern #525 Eyelet Lace Dress, Bonnet and Booties for a 2" Baby This pattern is knit from the neck down and so has very little sewing up needed. The pattern is interesting, but not difficult as long as you keep track of your rows The Dress, bonnet and booties take 1 ball of yarn
	Pattern #527 Long Carriage Coat and Bonnet for a Baby An easy 4 row repeat pattern Takes 1 ball of yarn for the coat and bonnet. Narrow ribbon for waist and bonnet ties Joy tried a new idea with this outfit. She knitted from hem to waist, then knit only the back, up over the shoulders and down the front. This meant that the only sewing was the underarm seams
