picklecake hats & mitts
picklecake hats & mitts
When I was three I had a doll that was the same size as me. We both had stick straight brown hair and brown eyes, and I thought of her as my twin. My mother made us matching orange mini-dresses that were sprinkled with flowers. I loved matching my doll - we were a set! Aren’t babies just like dolls? This pattern is an easy to wear (and to knit!) set for babies, bigger kids and their grown ups. Pattern includes instructions for a bonnet, mittens, and hats - make a set for the whole fam!
This pattern set is part of the 10 TINY KNITS collection. It is available to purchase as a single pattern or as part of the ebook collection.
