Sweet and cuddly, the Warwick hat and booties set is a perfect gift to welcome a special baby to the world. The hat is knit in the round from brim to crown. Eyelets above the cable-rib brim allow you to thread an I-cord through, creating an adjustable fit as well as a decorative element. The booties are knit flat from the cuff down and seamed, featuring the same cable rib detail as the hat. Valley Yarns Whately’s beautiful blend of baby alpaca and organic Pima cotton is soft next to baby’s delicate skin, while keeping them just warm enough. The heathered natural shades and chainette construction of Whately make these pieces lightweight and give them additional depth. Keep a set on hand for a last-minute gift, and you’ll always have the perfect handmade addition to baby’s layette!
