Garter yokes on babies have been cute for generations, and Wee Cria from Ysolda takes that classic idea and makes it thoroughly up to date. It features rectangular tabs that are worked for each shoulder, stitches that are picked up around them and cast on for the neck, and front, back, and sleeves that are worked down simultaneously. Instructions are included for slightly puffed short sleeves or full-length ones with fold-back cuffs that provide extra growing room. Inset pockets can be worked either to hold a toddler’s tiny treasures or as a cute but purely decorative detail in smaller sizes.
