Since my daughter is expecting her first, I have been looking more at baby knitting and crochet patterns. I have totally fallen in love with these slip-ons for adults and babies. The free pattern gives instructions from newborns through adults to please the entire family. The neutral color is a plus for me because we do not know the sex yet. When we find out I can embellish with a girl or boy motif. Go to Lion Brands for the downloadable PDF file.
