Basic Knitted Jacket & Basic Knitted Beanie

Hello, everyone!

As you saw in previous posts, Mama knitted several jackets and beanies for us over the past few weeks, and also wrote the patterns for some of them. She made another, more basic jacket and wrote a pattern for it as well, and also added a basic beanie, which was modeled after the pompom ears beanie she made before.

The following pictures are of the basic jacket and beanie, which Mama made for a lady on Facebook. Luciana got to model them before they went on their way to their new home 😊

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *



First, a picture from the front. Isn't it beautiful? The lady chose grey yarn with black buttons, and it just turned out so amazing!



And here is one taken from the back



And finally, a picture taken a bit sideways. We told Mama that we absolutely need to have a jacket and beanie in this exact same color 😄

Hooded Pocket Shawl

Hello, doll friends!

Mama wanted us to have a Hooded Pocket Shawl, but was unable to find a pattern online that was suitable, so, as she so often does, she made her own.

Take a look!

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *



Here is Luciana modeling it, with the hood up and her hands in the pockets



Mama chose a bright sunny yellow for the shawl



Here is a view of what it looks like from the back



A picture with the hood down



Here you can see it from the back with the hood down



And another one from the side; this time with Luciana's hands out of her pockets

To go along with the Blacklight Coat Mama made for us, and which you can find hereshe also made us a beanie.

Check it out!

Blacklight Coat

Hello again, doll friends!

This time I would like to show you another coat Mama made for us. She calls it the Blacklight Coat because of the name of the yarn she used for it. She used her own pattern for this coat.

There is also a pattern for a matching beanie Mama made to go along with the coat.

But first, let's take a look!

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *



Here it is, modeled by Luciana. It has lots of repeating neon colors, which are a lot brighter in reality. The picture truly does not do the vibrancy of the colors enough justice!
