Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2007: “’Babies make the perfect tiny, beautiful, helpless models for a knitter’s need to embellish, cable and decorate. This baby onesie is based loosely on a hooded baby-saque dress. I’ve modified it for the modern tot, who spends so much time strapped into a seat. I blended textured stitches with cables and emroidery, creating a sample that shows off both the knitter’s skills and the depth of baby love. As my own children grow and develop their own ideas about fashion, I enjoy even more making baby items for friends.’ Modesitt’s cabled and ribbed full-length onesie, made in Anny Blatt’s ‘Baby Blatt’ and cinched with twisted-cord ties, blooms with embroidered flowers and freeform crochet. The sleeves and legs ruffle at the flared edges.”
