I really don't think you can knit a newborn boy.

Wow, storm, that is fab!

I like this Rowan book. What about Tommy? Can you cable?

Or Debbie Bliss Essential Baby. Quite a few boyish designs in there.

I have some very easy patterns like garter stitch jacket with hood on I knitted for my dd but its unisex and would look lovely for a boy, also have one thats very similar but nicer patter but very very easy to do. If you want them can email or post to you cat me if you want

That blanket is just wonderful, will have to make it sometime. Have taken the pattern off already, so just waiting for a commission [hopeful emoticon)

storm, that is gorgeous. but i think a bit more ambitous than i am looking for.

dutchoma, instead of a commision to make the blanket, how about a class to teach me how to do it?

this is really good book if you want simple.

I have made countless boat necked sweaters from this book for newborns and there's cute hat pattern too which you could do to match. I basically learnt to knit using this book, there's really clear instructions and DB yarns you can pick up online v easily if not in your local shop. Washes well too.
