New Star Man trousers

I made a new pair of sweatshirt pants the other night!

 

I used the Ottobre Design pattern Star Man as a base and added knee pads and a ton of top stitching.

 

I also added back pockets. They are set a bit too low, but they are mostly there for a decorative purpose.

 

I remembered that I have a wash away glue stick, and it was a great help when attaching the pocket!

 

 

Ottobre design Starman & Be cool

I made a pair of trousers and a tee for my oldest son the other night!

The patterns are Starman (trousers) and Be Cool (tee) from Ottobre Design. I’m very happy with the fit. The kid is 4 years old, and I made size 110.

I stayed up late with this project. When I attached the neck band, I got the seam allowance on the right side. However, I simply stitched it down, and  I’m quite satisfied with the result.

Clover Earfla Hat and Eiras hals

I made a little kit for our daughter!

The hat is Clover Earflap Hat from Dover&Madden, and the neck warmer is Eiras hals from Waaga.

I used a quite luxurious yarn, babysilk from Du Store Alpakka. It was a delight to work with!
The gauge is 24 stitches, which is what the patterns call for. However, I find that the hat I made with merino yarn (28 stitches) fit much better. Well, well, now she is prepared for next winter!
