This set of cardigan, hat (with optional ear-flaps), booties and blanket will keep a precious child snuggly and warm. The simple combination of garter stitch and blocks lends itself to playing with colors. The photo shows the set in a solid color with a contrasting stripe at the borders, and a second cardigan is worked in stripes of four different colors. A variegated or self-striping yarn would also be fun.
