Dad was in the Army way back when (in the 1950’s). Keith found this Santa soldier at Hobby Lobby and I had to get it for Dad. I knitted matching camo hats for the soldier, Dad and Dad’s great-grandson, Zachary. Dad says it’s his favorite hat I’ve ever knitted for him – fits him the best – yay!!!!
Zach likes to grab the spoon and feed himself………..
Zach was very very nice. Here’s our little Santa-Zach posing in his Santa suit. The sled is Mark’s sled from when he was a baby. Mark was really happy to see Zach on the sled.
The cutest lil’ bumblebee ever (yes, I knit his hat and sewed his little mitts)………..
These are the best bibs. Zach needed new bibs so his Mommy and I sewed him up some – then we made him more – then more. Here is the pattern and here are pics of Zach with some of the bibs we made…..
…..and here’s a Christmas bib I made for him…….
Here’s our little trick-or-treater. No, he didn’t trick-or-treat at his young age, but he sure looked cute.
These pics are when Mommy was getting him into his outfit…………
Here is a snuggie I crocheted and a hat I knitted for Zach for his car seat. He is also wearing fleece mitts I custom-made to keep his precious hands warm.
Here he is testing it out before I finished the sleeves……..
Here he is in the shape of what he stole from my family when he was conceived…….
………..and playing shy…….
…….yet still being patient………..
………….and “please can this be over with”……………
The “Snuggle Up” pattern is here but I made adjustments. I did mine with a sc/dc stitch to make it warmer (Corey loves sc/dc – when he was a kid he called it “the warmest pattern” so I chose that stitch for mine). I also made it longer – do what you want to make it work for your child of choice. This one was custom crocheted for Zach.
The hat pattern is a combination of patterns that I found – again, custom knit to be perfect for Zachary.
