Sweet Nothings Crochet: A Little Boy Jacket & Beanie

It's quite hard finding baby stuff specifically for boys, isn't it? But this is a really cute jacket and perfect for what I am looking for. The jacket has this cute collar that runs around the back - almost adult-like and totally adorable. I paired it with a beanie so my client gets a full set. Come along and let's work on this together.
