Sneak preview! Christmas Baby Toy

Stuck for ideas for a quick gift to knit for Christmas presents? Well here’s a little preview of my next pattern.. It is really easy & quick to make. If you’re a fast knitter you’ll have it finished in 1 evening but if you’re not so fast like me it may take you 1.5!

Finn’s felted stocking


Finn’s felted stocking

Eek! Slightly more of a colour run when it felted than I expected. The red isn’t so Christmassy and the cream… well it’s now more of a definite pink… even the snowman is the same shade (i’m not even going to bother photographing that). On the plus side the fringing felted extremely well and if this was done in a single colour it could work. But this wasn’t exactly the overall look I was going for so I think this time it’ll have to be a non felted pattern.

The fringing is finished so it’s now in the washing machine. Keep your fingers crossed the red doesn’t leak too much and turn the cream pink!

Finn’s snowman


This is the snowman so far for finn’s stocking. It’s also in the machine and I’ll add the rest of his details when I sew him into place.
