New Sublime Baby Patterns Books


Sublime has delivered another in their line of astonishingly cute (if cuteness can astonish) baby patterns in their new yarn, Baby Silk & Bamboo DK.  The book contains Sublime's usuall selection of beautiful, stylish, and wearable baby clothes for both boys and girls. Patterns include sweaters (pullovers and cardigans), a coat, hats, booties, a blanket, a vest, and a very cute romper. Book $20.

The yarn, Baby Silk & Bamboo DK, has a very soft and silky composition of 80% bamboo and 20% silk.  It is machine washable, but I always use the delicate cycle just to be safe.  It knits up a standard 22 sts & 28 rows on 4mm needles, 50g/95m. Yarn $9 ea.


Pictures aren't available yet for this little book, but it's full of vintage inspired sweaters for boys and girls. It is heavy on texture, lots of beautiful arans, a couple simple fair isles, and some simpler cardies for girls. They yarn used is a DK weight, so Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK or Cascade 220 Superwash Sport would both work.
