Noelle's Snowflake Cardigan

An heirloom knitted coat for our little winter time baby~
             little tatted snowflakes
                          dance across the mohair coat~
                                             while tiny little pearls and crystal beads
        dazzle every snowflake
                        making her sparkle~~~ 



A most perfect coat for a winter time baby~




My own pattern, knitted from natural looped mohair.



tiny, hand tatted snowflakes (each one a work of art)
hand sewn on to the little coat
and then beaded with pearl and crystal accents


like frosty snowflakes that fall from the sky~
each individual little tatted snowflake is uniquely different
no two are exactly alike


made with love~
an heirloom for a precious new grandbaby




even the little "handmade by gb" tag is beaded



Pattern Details
~I used double strand looped mohair for the coat.
~The little sleeves are made to be rolled up.
~The natural, undyed yarn was purchased from one of my trips to the
 Maryland Sheep and Wool festival.
~The little tatted snowflakes were a custom order
made especially for me by Jennifer.



and of course~
a matching Snowflake Hat


Pattern details
~Yarn- Tilli Thomas beaded flurries
~pattern-Tilli Thomas flurries hat
~accented with 3 shades of silver and gray tulle



a little "vintage inspired" ensemble
for our newest granddaughter



"Snowflake Cardigan and Hat"


so precious
just like our baby~
~
Our first "Noelle"


"Kadence Noelle"
Born December 9, 2012
7 pounds


~~~
Our baby was due on Christmas Day -- but she wanted her birthday to be earlier!  We are so blessed and thankful to have a beautiful healthy new grandbaby --- Keri Beth is now a BIG sister!
This precious baby is our Christmas blessing~~
