2ply baby patterns

Or has any one got a suggestion as to where I could find some please?

I will have a look, but don't think I have. You can find very old patterns online, I will try to remember where I got one, nanapug.

There are quite a few here nanapug

Oh thank you, I will look x

Thanks Tanith

I have had a look but I don't have any. Hope you find one through the link from Tanith.

Trouble is most of the 2ply on line ones are for shawls, which I don't need. There are a couple of layettes but they are extremely fussy patterns. I think it so sad they don't make lovely modern patterns in two ply any more. I want to make some very plain new born things

Have you looked on the Ravelry site? You could ask the question on there as well.

Could you do one of the fancier ones but in stocking stitch? If you had the finished measurements and knew the tension you could work out how many rows and stitches and where to do increases and decreases.

I have looked on Ravelry "rosequartz" to no avail. I am afraid I am not really up to that "Elegran". I have tried in the past but I didn't really manage Thanks for the idea though. I maybe will have another go. I am knitting a four ply pattern ATM and it is so pretty. I hate little ones in great chunky knits. I made a two ply shawl for my DD when her baby was born and she loved it as it was so soft but not too heating. She used it constantly. I want to make some little pull on hats for newborns. Think I will have to do some experimenting!!

It would have to be a 2 year pregnancy for me to finish a shawl in 2 ply!

Would 3 ply be too thick? There may be some 3 ply patterns still available.

I think I may have to go with that "Rosequartz", I do have a few of those. I may have to compromise. I think I am being a bit stubborn though!!

3ply could be nice and quite delicate, nanapug, in comparison to some of the chunkier baby yarns.

Hope it works out well. I only once adapted a pattern, sizing it up and using bits from 3 patterns and I worried that it would not fit DGD after all that effort. It was fine but I wouldn't attempt it again.

How did that happen? DH always says I repeat myself.

Ha ha, you are twice right about the three ply ;)

happy knitting

I'm sure you could manage the maths for a pull on hat if you know the finished size you want. If you did the hat in rib it would have the extra stretch to help it fit more than one size. Give a go!

It would be relatively easy to upsize a hat pattern I think.
I was trying to amalgamate and upsize 3 patterns for a jumper for a 6 year old. It did work out OK thank goodness.
