I know it's a lot more work but they won't outgrow them like they will those sweet little clothes. I still use the blankets and quilts my Nan made for me, even though brown, blue and orange hasn't been cool since the 70's (they were my dad's school colours though).<br /><br />Lauren MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-6659839717205581412011-08-25T10:47:43.305+10:002011-08-25T10:47:43.305+10:00One day I want to learn to knit.

I am just flabbergasted that you posted about a singlet today, as I searched high and low for a pattern last night and couldn't find what I was looking for, as my grandchild will be born in February and not the time to be knitting with wool but I thought a few cotton singlets would be good.
