Pattern: My own. Available as a PDF here.
Sizes: 20-inch and 23-inch chests; approx. 18-mo. and 24-mo.
Yarn: Rowan Denim; Knit Picks Shine
Yarn Source: Monterey Yarn in Green Bay; Knit Picks
Needles: US sizes 8 and 10.5
Notes: Just about everything one would need to know is in the pattern, so I don’t have much by way of notes. These came out pretty much as I had imagined them. The linen stitch is a nice touch, giving the bodice some texture and interest while remaining simple, so as not to detract from the loveliness of the baby! Both can be knit with two balls of leftover yarn, and both are machine washable and dryable. Enjoy!
