Valley Yarns Snowbell is an adorable gender neutral layette for babies and toddlers with a matching cardigan, blanket, hat, and diaper cover. All four pieces are knit in Valley Superwash Sport, a favorite for baby and children’s items for its machine-washability and smooth and soft feel. A waving rib stitch pattern adds a little pizazz to these classic garments, and gives them a cohesive look. Hat is knit seamlessly in the round from brim to crown while the other items are knit flat in one piece. Cardigan is a straightforward top-down raglan and diaper cover features elastic in the foldover waistband for a great fit. Waving rib stitch pattern is both charted and written out.
