A beautiful baby pullover with matching beanie styled after the colorwork of the Faire Isles of Scotland using U.S. Organic Cotton yarn.
The kit comes with three balls of the base color and three balls of each contrasting color, for a total of six balls. Each ball of U.S. Organic Cotton is 3 oz.: 194yd/177m
The kit also provides a link for two adorable puppet patterns: one a lamb called Little Lamb and the other a Loch Ness Monster, Nessie. These designs use the left over yarn from the pullover and beanie colorwork section and make a very fun washcloth puppet for your little ones.
The pattern also links to "Mum" hat, a smart-looking adult beanie, which also uses the leftover colorwork yarn.
