Notes
This cardigan set is perfect for a baby 3-9 months. The moss stitch allows for an illusion of colorwork and striping that is much easier than Fair Isle or tapestry crochet and creates a stretchier, cozier fabric. The pattern includes photos and diagrams to help you along the way. This sweater and hat are created in one piece with no seaming and work up quickly for a great baby shower gift!
