I want to make a jacket for a new baby later this month. My friend doesn't know if it is a boy or a girl, so I have to steer clear of the lacy patterns.
I want to go 'cold sheep' as well. I have a nice collection of baby cashmerino, but only 2 and a bit of cream, 2 of a dark cream, 2 deep teal, 1 light teal, 2 dark brown and 4 lighter brown. I want to make it lighter for a new baby. Maybe use the darker ones when it is older. I think I will need about 3 balls for the small size so I was looking for a pattern I could put stripes in. Found 'After the Storm' on the Love Craft site. It is a free pattern with raglan sleeves and hardly any seams, so nice and soft for a new baby. Amazingly, it is for my cashmerino!
So far, I have done the neck ribbing. Not feeling too bright at the moment but hope to get it done before he/she arrives.

i'm thinking pale cream with stripes in the teals and light brown. Maybe a line of colour in the edgings.
