The first one is from Love Knitting for Baby issue January 2014. The pattern is called Little Boy Blue and should be knitted with Sirdar Crofter DK, which is a self patterning fair isle. We couldn't make up our minds which colourway would work for them as they aren't keen on yellow or green and obviously anything pink or purple was too girly. So we opted to use Sirdar Denim Tweed DK shade 0656 and add a fair isle pattern to the front and the bottom of the sleeves.
The next sweater is from Sirdar's Vintage Snuggly DK Knits Booklet 324 - Design D - Wrapover Collared Cable Sweater. For this I am using Sirdar Denim Tweed shade 0649
Both these yarns I had in my stash and they are lovely and soft for a baby and also wash well which is always a bonus.
I am still working on the bunting for the Tour De France - Cambridge leg. If you want to help out then contact The Sheep Shop, where you will find the pattern link
You are the best children's knitter ever. Treasures for all the recipients.
