Color Choices
Cutie pie has a basic selection
of solid colors. Since it's such
a different texture from your
regular yarns, I don’t know how
well variegated colors would
show up. The texture of the
yarn would make any color
changes more fluid and not as
distinct. The selection of solid
colors includes very saturated
and beautiful tones of the base
colors; pinks, blues, purple, green,
etc.
Soft Baby Steps come in a wide
and varied selection of colors.
There are solid colors in baby
tones, bright saturated colors
and variegated to match the
solids. On the Red Heart website,
there are a whopping three
pages of colors.
While I think the true value of
Comfort Sport is its versatility, it
also comes in a fair variety of
colors. No variegated colors, but
several tones of one color. For
example, there are five different
shades of blue.
If you can dream it, you can
knit it with this yarn.
I would use Soft Baby Steps to
knit sweaters, booties, scratch
mittens for those cute little
leggings with the monster face
on the bum. Regardless of what
you choose to make, it will be
baby’s favorite. While Cutie Pie
is a lightweight yarn, I love this
yarn for blankets and snuggle
sacks. Just touching this yarn
brings images of plush, luxurious,
warm blankets to mind. It's light
enough that you could also use
it for garments worn close to
the skin, like Soft Baby Steps, or
choose to knit warm sweaters
and over garments.
Between Comfort Sport, Soft
Baby Steps and Cutie Pie all of
your baby knitting needs will be
covered! Summer is the most
popular time of year for babies
to be born, I’m telling you this
now so you can get a jump start
on it. With all the beautiful colors,
gender neutral included, baby
season won’t be so stressful!
Ideal projects
Comfort Sport is one of my
favorite kinds of yarn, it’s the kind
of yarn you can knit anything
with. If you end up buying
this huge ball to make one
baby sweater you're going to
have a lot left over. There are
thousands of projects out there
looking for yardage just like this;
drink cozies, shawls, pet beds!
