Review
"Two dozen super-cute yet sturdy pieces sized for newborns through toddlers of 18 months. Color-blocking, chevrons, mesh lace, hoodies, zip-ups, multi yarn-the hottest trends in knitting for grownups are here converted into chic crochet for the smallest customers. Additionally, a quick color change renders most of the projects unisex." knitsimple
