i heart rainbows - classic cutsie-pie fair-isle pullover and hat by Emily Wessel and Alexa Ludeman

Babies should be dressed in garments so sweet that they hurt your teeth just to look at. This joyfully saccharine little pullover tastes of Sweet Tarts, Rocket Pops and edible candy necklaces!

BONUS: the hat pattern included as part of this pattern is FREE: here’s the link. You could start with the hat, and if you like the project, move on to the little pullover!
