Knitting/Crochet: Baby Layettes

 These are from the Leisure Arts Leaflet 460 Baby Layettes To Knit and Crochet Book 2, 1986. This is the knitted booties, hat, and sweater.

This is the crochet sweater,



 I have been given a ton of different baby yarn and my goal for this year is to go through as much of it as I can.  These pieces were done from 6 skeins of Patons Gemstone Courtelle Double Crepe.  I didn't have enough to make longer sleeves for the crochet sweater but I think it makes a cute summer sweater.  These are both newborn sizes.  They are very easy to do and I've had this book for years and have made many of the knitted sweaters because they are just so pretty.  This yarn is a little stiff but I don't know how old it is as it was given to me.  The state fair here has a infant crisis category where you enter items and they are judged but then they are donated.  So that's where these will be going along with all the other sets I'll be making.
