Dear Baby Francis
I’ve been hooked on making wee baby socks inspired by their matching adult socks for quite some time. Here the cable pattern from the Uncle Frank socks makes for a perfect unisex baby gift!
This set includes a baby hat and socks. The socks are a perfect way for using up leftover sock yarns. Adding a trim of contrasting color gives this set that something extra!
