Vanilla Soakers


Finished two newborn sized soakers.
Pattern: vanilla
Pattern is available for download for $6Au, very reasonably priced.

I liked knitting these, a change from my normal top down soaker.
The pattern was very clear to follow.
These are knitted by knitting the crotch first, then joining into a round and working up.
I think I prefer top down due to the ribbing casted on tends to be more stretchy than the ribbing casted off. Although a sewn cast off does give a more stretchy cast off.
I also find grafting very easy so I'm not put off my grafting with a top down design.
I really like the ribbed crotch on these.

My grandmother knitted me a couple of these, and besides strtching easily, I really like them. :)
