Seriously- have you EVER seen a cuter Christmas oufit?
I think not.
If only I had the time to whip up something so nice for myself... maybe next year :)
This dress started as this pattern by Dale of Norway.
After I got past the motif, I decided I needed to make the outfit a little more girly (Elise gets a little offended when people think she's a boy). The solution was to stop knitting. The body suit then became a little dress to wear with leggings- but I knew something was missing. Enter the greatest little booties ever made (ok... so I'm a bit biased, but I love them!).
A couple days before Christmas I spent some time scouring Ravelry for a basic bootie pattern I could embellish. I knew what I wanted the end result to look like- I just wanted a little bit of help getting there. I stumbled across Christine's Baby Booties and knew they would fit the bill. I mimicked the motif of the sweater dress, added length to make them more like a winter boot, and pom-pom ties to top them off.
Since I wanted a washable outfit (I wanted to make sure she got a chance to wear this a few times over the holidays), the yarn I chose was Cascade Heritage Solids and Quatro Colors.
The needles? Yup- size 0 and 1.5 (US)
The Patterns? Body Voss and Christine's Baby Booties
Hope you had a very merry Christmas!

Oh my gosh, that is adorable!!! I love the adaptation and will definitely be making one for my coming niece or nephew (Obviously, I wouldn't adapt it if it's a nephew!).
ReplyDeleteThe best part of the Christmas gift is the beautiful baby and the plus is a talented Mommy who made her such a gorgeous outfit. I don't know how you found the time. Our little one is only 2 weeks old - but this might make a cute valentines outfit for her.

ReplyDeleteLove it! Where can I buy the original onesie pattern?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is Body Voss from Dale of Norway. Click on the link above to go to the Ravelry listing.
ReplyDeletePretty, but I'd change the buttons from the back to the shoulders :)
ReplyDeleteI tried looking on Ravelry for the pattern but couldnt get it. Can you actually print the pattern from the computer? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteI second Bonnie's comment. Maybe I haven't figured out Ravelry yet, but when I go to the pattern page it sends me to the Dale of Norway website with not a pattern in sight. =( Where can the pattern be found?

ReplyDeleteI second Bonnie's comment...maybe I haven't figured out Ravelry yet, but I can't find the actual pattern, just a link to their clothing retail site. Any help?
ReplyDeleteI know it's been a long time since you made this, but what did you do at the bottom?
