Ysolda Wee Cria PDF

Garter yokes on babes have been cute for generations but Wee Cria from Ysolda is 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. Shaping in the body ensures that there’s plenty of room for well-padded bottoms (and tummies!). Inset pockets can be worked either to hold a toddler’s tiny treasures or as a cute but fake detail in smaller sizes.
