NEW DESIGN! Similar to my previous set, but with some modifications. The shoe has been redesigned with an opening and a tie in the back, making it super easy to get on and off, yet snug so it won’t fall off. The hat is larger around the head, has a slightly longer tail hanging down, and a slightly larger pom pom.

Instructions given for Newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-12 months, with tips on making additional sizing adjustments as well. 8 pattern pages total. Overall, I would classify this as an “intermediate” pattern, due to the shaping of the shoes. I tried to provide lots of photos to help with clarity and understanding, though.

Requires about 3-4 ounces of yarn in Red and Green. I used Red Heart Soft (Really Red and Guacamole).

7 sts = 2”,
2 rows of DC = 1” tall
3 rows of HDC = 1” tall
