I have a little boy and I have always found it hard to find him a little sweater set when he was a baby that was dressy and handsome, but not frilly and girly. So, I decided to design my own and make it perfect for a little boy and a bit dressy. Now, if only I could shrink him to fit in this set! I am thinking I just might have to make it in a toddler and child size some time!
This sweater set makes for the perfect sweater set to give to a spring and summer baby too because it is light weight, yet warm enough for those cool summer nights. It is full of fun textures to add some charm to the set too!The complete set is easy to whip up with some light weight yarn (3 W) and an E hook! The pattern comes in 4 sizes (0-3, 3-6, 6-12 & 12-18 months). Both the 0-3 months and 3-6 months patterns include the sweater, hat, and booties; and the 6- 12 months and 12-18 months set includes patterns for the sweater and hat.
