Baby Pod

I made the Baby Pod (some would call it a cacoon, and perhaps when I make one in another color I may too)... in any case.. the pod is made using two strands of worsted weight yarn so knits up fairly quickly on size 13 needles.

Since I don't have an infant in the house I borrowed my granddaughter's "Bitty Baby" doll to use as a model. She is 15" long in total, but the pod is knitted to 17" before decreasing at the bottom and making a short i-cord for the stem. Perfect for a newborn to keep snuggled up in and toasty warm. An older infant would want to have arms free, but the pod should be great for about the first 4-5 months.

I will post another photo with the cap later.

This Greenie Meanie is a plushy made from a drawing done by my 4 yr old grandson. I kept the shape he gave to the mouth and teeth, as well as the eyes!

I added legs... mostly because little ones like something to grab ahold of!

I will have some at the Christmas Holiday Craft Fair; but it can also be see at
