I designed Baby Rocky Photo-prop set for my step-grandson to wear in his first ever professional photo shoot. His mum wanted something cute and memorable. The outfit is designed to look like a boxer’s, with long shorts, boots, a head protector and boxing gloves. There is an added lace up detail as would be seen on a vintage style boxer’s kit.
Designed to be worn by a newborn to 3 month old baby to be photographed in rather than everyday wear, this set only comes in one size which is purposefully oversized. Photo prop clothing sets are becoming more popular with parents when having their baby’s professional photos taken.
The finished set takes around 120g of DK weight yarn. I used slightly more red than white, but feel free to mix this around as you prefer.

Ethel Shrug or Bolero patttern is one of three shrugs in a set, using the same basic shape but worked with a different type of knitting stitch. These shrugs are perfect to pop over your shoulders when you are watching TV, relaxing on the sofa or to cover up a little when sitting outside. The super chunky wool will keep you warm, even on the chilliest of evenings!
They are mainly knitted in a rectangle, from the bottom up, this time using garter stitch and stripes. There is a little shaping at the back of the neck using short rows. The arm holes are made at the end by folding the edges together and sewing them up just part of the way. As it uses super chunky weight yarn the shrug will knit up quickly. Perfect if you want to whip up a quick gift for a loved one! The Edith shrug is knitted with the diagonal basket weave stitch. This is a really eye-catching stitch which looks more difficult than it is.
It is knitted bottom up, with set in sleeves and the band down the front and round the neck are picked up and knitted. The stockinette stitch makes it perfect for a variegated yarn but would also look fabulous in a plain colour.
The Edna shrug is knitted in stocking stitch, and is ideal as a project for a new knitter. As it uses super chunky weight yarn the shrug will knit up quickly.

There is a little bit of a story behind the name of Nunthorpe Evening shawl which is a hap style shawl.
Recently I was at my local WI meeting and I was nervously stood at the front of this group of very talented ladies talking about how I design knitting patterns. This shawl was my current WIP and although it was still in the early stages, it created a lot of interest as I sat knitting it that evening. So I decided to name the shawl after the group – Nunthorpe Evening.
It has a traditional half-hap construction, with a garter stitch centre panel. This is surrounded by a much tighter, Shetland version of Feather and Fan stitch, finished off with a delicate lace edging. As the sections are joined by picking up and knitting or knitting stitches together, there is no sewing up to do to join the three sections.
The whole shawl uses 65g of mohair and silk blend laceweight yarn. I used Drops Kid Silk but it would look lovely in a different lace yarn.
The pattern includes a schematic, written and charted instructions. It has been professionally tech edited as well as test knitted.

Heritage Solids & Quatro by Cascade Yarns ® Fingering / 4 ply – 75% Merino, 25% Nylon – 400 meters / 100 grams. I used a single skein each of three colours red, green and white.
The stockings are knitted cuff down with a proper heel flap and will hold a number of small gifts or other fun surprises.
The stranded colourwork motifs could be mixed and matched easily to create an extra stocking or two for larger families. You don’t have to stick to red, white and greenn. You could choose colours based on the college they’re attending, favourite sports teams or Harry Potter house colours. Have fun with it and make them with lots of love.
