People around the world have fallen in love with the Fosette Crop: the time has come for the wee version for the little sweeties in our lives!

This cute, DK weight tee works up so fast in even adult sizes. The children’s pattern is perfect for a quick baby shower gift or last-minute granddaughter knit. Every size can be worked with less than one skein each of three colors, and the baby sizes can even use scraps!
