Sized from newborns to six-month-olds, our Knit Layette pattern features full-color photos and helpful instructions. The entire set requires just two skeins of Purl Soho’s incredibly soft Line Weight merino yarn and a collection of pretty mother-of-pearl buttons.

Whether you give the set itself to a crafty, expectant parent or you knit up the set yourself, our Knit Layette tries in every way to be incredibly special. Babies are very good at inspiring that kind of love! -Laura
