Baby Guernsey Set Pattern

The Baby Guernsey Set gives you patterns for an adorable baby blanket, hat and sweater. Learn new techniques as you progress through the set. Start with the blanket to get familiar with the stitch patterns used without any shaping that will distract you at first. Next up, give the hat a try! The design for the hat is knit flat, incorporates simple shaping and is then seamed together. Finally, you will be ready to move onto the baby sweater! Knit in pieces, you can concentrate on one part of the sweater without the need to keep track of too many things at once. Knit the entire set to impress any new mom at your next baby shower!
