Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.

In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement. This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.

One of these sets has been in a photo shoot .. and aren't this just the cutest photographs?

and here is the set before it was worn ..

I'm happy we worked on this one together.. come back right here for my other free patterns. Check these links for some of the baby wear I’ve made. Enjoy.
