Valley Yarns Aloutte is a baby wrap-front
jacket with a matching beanie featuring contrast color rib trim and I-cord ties
knit in Southwick. The set is a quick knit that will make a fabulous shower
gift for a new baby. The wrap jacket is knit flat in one piece from the bottom
up to the armholes. The sleeves stitches are picked up around the armhole
opening and knit in the round to the
cuffs. Valley Yarns Southwick combines the softness of Pima cotton with the
beauty and drape of bamboo fiber. Its lightweight construction is perfect for
spring and summer knitting!
