I am still working my way through my 'bottomless' yarn
stash ;-)
With the Bazaar Season slowly sneaking up on
me, I reached for my baby yarn and made this little hat up last night, and the
mitts today. It’s a very nice baby boy set:
0-3 MO Infant Hat/Mitts. $15 Trio
These patterns are not my own designs. The
pattern for the mitts comes from an old 1980’s Crochet Omnibook magazine; the hat pattern from a 1988 Workbasket pocket magazine.
