This set is super cute and cuddly! Make with super soft bulky yarn (or two strands of medium weight yarn held together). It works up SUPER FAST!!

Newsboy hat has a small brim with optional mach strap and optional buttons. Ankle wrap boots have a flap that can be positioned high or low, whichever you prefer. The boot flap itself is NOT made backward on one boot! Many other patterns for these style boots make the right boot flap backwards, and so the rows don’t really match, and the last row is inside out! As a perfectionist and a stickler for detail, this didn’t sit well with me, so I found an easy way to make the opposite boot so that they BOTH match, and both top rows are right-side-out. These look cute with or without an accent row along top and flap.

Instructions given for Newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-12 months, with tips on making additional sizing adjustments as well. 11 pattern pages total. Overall, I would classify this as an easy to intermediate pattern.
