Bloom - a dress that grows with your child

I am pleased to announce that I am licensed to knit tiKKi’s new pattern called bloom.

Bloom is designed to bloom, or grow with your little girl. From birth it looks particularly cute as a beautiful dress. In white or cream it makes the perfect christening or naming dress. As the little girl in your life grows the ribbing in the bodice and shaping of the cap shoulders allows the dress to bloom into a cute little peasant style top. On the bigger girl the front increasing become more of a focus. I love how it looks totally different on different age groups, a cute little baby dress for the wee ones, but not babyish at all for the bigger girl.

It is wonderfully economical item that grows with your child from a dress to a cute top. A perfect addition to any girls wardrobe!

Bloom is available in three different sizes which are obtained by using different weight yarns.

Small: NB – 12 months (knitted in 4ply yarn)

Medium: 6 months – 4 years (knitted in 8ply yarn)

Large: 2 – 8 years (knitted in 10ply yarn)

Here is a photo of a bloom I made for my youngest daughter wearing a medium sized bloom (8ply). It is a great length on her as a dress. It can be worn by itself or pop a top on underneath for extra warmth. I popped it on with the ribbon tie at the back as she likes to undo it!

My 4yo daughter can also wear it as a top with the tie at the front. So versatile!

Please email to find out prices as it depends on the yarn chosen.

Aviatrix

And another hat! This one called 'Aviatrix' for obvious reasons was designed by Justine Turner, a fabulous New Zealand designer.

It comes in a wide range of sizes: newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2-4 years and 4 years plus (I have the measurements for these if you'd like to check which is the right size for your child). It looks great on both boys and girls, awesome for kids that pull off hats. I've added 2 buttons to this one so that there's room for growth.

Propeller Hat

Thinking about winter hats yet?

The Propeller is a gorgeous little unisex hat, with a beret-like style

This is just 1 in a series of 8 beautifully designed hats by Woolly Wormhead that I am able to knit for little ones.

These hats are available in 4 sizes:
XS - Premmie (12"/30.5 cm)
S - Newborn to 3 months (14"/35.5cm)
M - 3-6 months (16"/41cm)
L - 6-12 months (18"/46cm)

In saying that, I found this quite a relaxed fit, the largest size fitted both my 12 month old and my little almost 3 year old (at a push)

I am planning on knitting all the other ones in the series to pop on here, but if you are interested in seeing the others then email me and I'll show you the designers pictures. There is a wide range of styles, including some that tie under the chin like earflap hats - they're all fabulous, of course!
