This little sweetie is a Cabin Fever pattern called Homecoming Layette - it is available all over the internet and costs about $6USDIt is really easy - being top down and no seams, my favourite!
The pattern has a jacket, hat, and blanket but no booties - but that is no biggie - I just use my favourite bootie pattern and incorporate the jacket pattern in it. The Cap in the pattern is plain Stocking Stitch with a garter brim, so if you used that, plain stocking stitch booties to match would be fine. However I decided to make the cap using the same pattern stitch as in the body of the little jacket.
I made a second little set with booties to match, I really have no idea what yarn I used - it was 8 ply/DK on 4mm/US6 needles. Something left over that I thought would be nice.
The buttons are from Dave Rundell in Florida.
Had been given a bag full of unravelled yarn in blue so thought I would make another Rindy's Raglan - so sweet, this little pattern and so useful.
These three little items went to Knitting for Brisbane's Needy to keep some little person warm this winter.
