At first I felt in love with Alize Batik:) I began to think over a model of baby set as a present. I cast on 68st on 4mm needles and begin with garter stich. Then devide them for back, front parts and sleeves and also leave 4 st for reglan. Then to increase stiches I make 2 yarn overs before and after reglan stich in each face row. You can put a marker on reglan stich. Then according to the size I leave stiches for sleeves and knit without increasing, and finish with garter stich. Return to each sleeve by knitting all stiches in a round, finish with gartner stich.
About trousers - I begin with garter stich for 1 part for 1 leg increasing each in the inner side. Do the same way for the second part and then join them into round. And when the hight is enough for baby’s bottom begin swing!!!! Just on the back side for comfortable seeting. Then make one row with pearl stiches and garter stiches for belt.
For hat - also garter stich for begining and finishing by descrising each 8th stich every 2nd row. Make a pompom:)
For small socks - cast on 40 st on 4 needles 2,5mm. Make garter stich for 5 rows. Continue knitting only on 1st needle 14 rows. Then knit all stiches from all needles -2 pearl rows, 2skip rows, 2pearl rows, 2skip rows, 2 pearl rows. Then leave 2,3,4 needle and continue on 1st needle knitting together stiches from 1st needle and side stiches from 2d and 4th needles. Finish with sewing stiches from 1 and 3d needle.
