She wanted a hat mitten and bootee set to match the outfit she had bought as his going home from hospital attire so I started with that set and it all seemed to get out of hand after that knitting hats in other colours..... and of course they had to have mitts and bootees to match them.

The pattern for these I found online - I just would not be able to follow a Dutch pattern I don't think.
The mittens are here: http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/babyhatmitts.htm
MittensWith CC pink CO 28 sts and work in K1, p1 until work measures 1 inch (3 cm) from beg. Change to MC cream and work in St st for 14 rows.
Shaping
Next row: (k2tog, k11) twice, k2tog - 25 sts
Next row: purl
Next row: k2tog, k10, k2tog, k to last 2 sts, k2tog - 22 sts
Next row: purl
Next row: (k2tog, k8) twice, k2tog - 19 sts
Next row: purl
BO. Cut yarn, leaving a long length of yarn for sewing side seam.
I made an eyelet row on them so they could be tied and be more secure - just after you have done your 1 inch in k1 p1 do your eyelet row - k1 YO k2tog ending in k1. Then knit your stocking stitch for 14 rows.
The hat was from here: C:\Documents and Settings\Clark\Mijn documenten\patterns\Newborn Baby Hat to Knit - Free Knitting Pattern Suite101.mht
The bootees from here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/my_pages/babywear/hkp/010.sht

We had a bout of ice and frost last night and this morning it started to snow - nice to look at and lovely around Christmas makes you feel in the spirit of the season - but it is really cold and it is nice to be in the warmth indoors. Hope you are all keeping warm.
