What a great idea! This is an innovative take on the taggie-blanket. I'll have to give this a try.

That tie idea is awesome! Nice work.

I'm about to try embellishing some baby clothes for the first time, although for a little baby girl...

Wow, thanks for the amazing tutorial! Great project and such a beautiful result.

I wonder how much it costs...is this amount of silver quite an investment?

Hi!  I started this pattern awhile ago, and am at the Left Front Neck Shaping.  I'm a little confused about where I'm doing the decreasing.  I've bound off 12 stitches on the RS, but do I decrease at the end of that row on each alternating row, or do I decrease on the side where I've bound off the stitches?  Can someone give me a hand?  Thanks!!  Mandy

Sorry i didn't see this until now. The baby was born September 24 and I've had my hands full ever since!

I *think* I can picture this part. From what I can see, you decrease on the side where you've bound off the stitches, so you have a sloping line from the cross-over part to the shoulder, if that makes sense.

That's very cute; and an appropriate name!

That is really cool! What are the dimensions?

Thanks so much Julieko!

My awesome sister (craftster user Raggamuffinchild) used your tutorial to make my baby this cute gnome!



I just love the colors and his cute little face:



Thanks for sharing your great tutorial. I can't wait for the baby to come (any minute now - he's due in 5 days) so that he can play and snuggle with it!

I saw this yesterday and got so excited about it, I didn't comment on your post! I quick got the pattern and started on one for my daughter instead. 

That's what all this crafty sharing is about! Be sure to post a pic of yours.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Yes, seed stitch is a bit labor intensive, but I got into the groove and it went by pretty quickly...and the result is very nice for a fall/winter jacket.

I didn't have any problems downloading the pattern. Hmmmm.... I am on a PowerBook and opened it in Preview. Maybe try opening it in Acrobat if that's not a possibility?

I highly recommend the pattern! I did come across one strange part when shaping the left and right fronts. I found that the two had to be reversed to get the button holes in the right place. But maybe I missed a row or something!
