MATERIALS

• 2 skeins of Rowan’s Purelife DK, 100% organic cotton for the main color. I used Natural #986.
• 1 skein of Rowan’s Purelife DK for the contrast color. This is Logwood #981.
• US 5 (3.75 mm), 16- and 24- inch circular needles
• US 6 (4 mm), 24-inch circular needles
• 3 stitch holders (Optional: you can use scrap yarn to hold your stitches if you prefer.)
• A cable stitch holder (Also optional: you can use a double pointed needle instead. Whether you use a cable stitch holder or a double pointed needle, make sure it is at least one size smaller than the main knitting needle you use.)
• 2 buttons, ½ inch in diameter (I used some old buttons I happened to have, so you won’t find them on our website, but you’ll find other cute options there!)

(Babies come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Try to measure the recipient if you can. If you can’t, rest assured that cotton is quite maleable, stretching with a little blocking and shrinking with a little time in the dryer.)
