This pattern is part of a set that includes St George’s Baby Sox and St George’s Baby Bib.

Adorn your royal baby with this sweet, yet oh-so-simple to knit set. The socks use garter stitch to insure they stay firmly on baby’s feet, while an adorable pom-pom sewn to the toe will keep them busy! The matching hat uses an unexpected side-to-side construction method, while the bib cleverly uses short rows to provide maximum clothes protection. Whether knit in bright, contrasting colors, or a single colorway, this set will be the perfect gift to greet an anxiously-awaited arrival!
