Handknits inspired by the forest.

The Going Home Set includes patterns for a vest, bonnet, and booties. This set was designed as a going home outfit for my own baby, and fills my three requirements of being gender neutral, easily worn over a set of pajamas, and comfortable for riding in a car seat.

A cozy collection of handknits for children.
