We love a Debbie Bliss baby layette, and this one is soooo sweet! Styled with lots of beary nice little motifs, there’s a cot blanket, a little sweater, a baseball jacket and a little hat and cute little crocheted teddy, too! In three sizes from 6-12 months to 18-24 months, the whole set is knitted in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, super soft, delectably warm and machine washable!

NOTE
One 50g/1¾oz ball of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Teddy 308 is sufficient to knit the motifs on the sweater and cot blanket. One 50g/1¾oz ball of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Chocolate 11 is sufficient to embroider the features on the sweater, cot blanket and teddy.
