Here is the 2nd knitted present for my new nephew Louis Gabriel. I chose the Baby Sophisticate pattern because I fell in love the moment I first saw it. I think it is perfect for a little boy, and indeed makes them look like little gentlemen. There really aren't that many typical boy patterns. I substituted the recommended wool yarn for a cotton / acrylic mix since this is for a summer baby and it shouldn't be too warm and it should be easily washable. The result is still quite a thick fabric, but it will fit in autumn and perhaps that's ok for then. I added a little label made of toy soldier fabric, isn't that cute?
