The pattern looked a bit daunting at first, but I found it easy once I got a hang of the pattern repeat. The most confusing part for me was figuring out how it was all going to come together.

I did most of the crocheting on a Sunday, and saved the collar and sewing to do throughout the week. I made this for a baby shower, so I’m hoping it fits the baby once he arrives.

I made a matching hat with the leftover yarn and Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly in Cobalt.
