Free pattern: Autumn Leaves by Nikki Van De Car
Yarn: Ella Rae Classics in Rosewood (slightly marbled color)
Size: up to 6 months
Notes: Medium difficulty - you definitely need to count all the stitches until you see the pattern begin to develop. Such a pretty pattern and well written too. I used size 8 needles and worsted weight yarn since many knitters reported very small sweaters. I also lengthened the sleeves by knitting straight and decreasing twice around the elbow.
Free pattern: Greenleaf Baby Hat by Evelyn Uyemura
Notes: A leaf hat to go with the Autumn Leaves sweater.
Free pattern: Ruth's Perfect Baby Booties by Ruth Bennett
Size: 3-6 months
Notes: Cute, easy pattern. I made seed stitch cuffs to match the sweater. I'll definitely make a few more of these.
With all this mini-knitting, I'm getting brave enough to try a sweater for myself.

that is so adorable. I love the colours, you are a talented knitter! Your baby is going to look so precious in this outfit, you must take a photo when all is said and done.
The sweater and hat set are adorable. I had found your blog last year some time and one of the first ones I read was that you had started knitting. I had started around the same time. Wow, you have made super progress!! Are they for your baby? If so, congratulations!!
Absolutely adorable set. I can only imagine how happy the mother will be and how cute the baby will look. (I know this is an old post, but I just happened upon your blog!)
