From pattern description: “This is a turtle set for newborns that I dreamt up while making a Sheldon as gift for a friend’s baby shower. It consists of a shell-patterned cardigan with matching longies for your Sheldons and summer dress for your Shellys. It’s topped off with an animal themed hat, and I think that Not an Artist’s Miittens pattern is perfect for completing the turtle transformation. Needles to say, a matching Sheldon (Ruth Homrighaus) is a must!

I’m 8 months pregnant at the moment, so I haven’t had a chance to test knit this pattern as I usually would. However, I wrote down the pattern as I made the set so it should be error-free. That said, I would love to hear any comments, errata or anything else to e.j.hooker@gmail.com

Note: The baby girl hat shown here is from http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/babys-summer-dres..., with a bow from http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/not-so-itty-bitty...
