The baby basics are a set of easy to knit tops and accessories for babies and young children. 4 of the tops are “popovers” tops with buttons or i-cord ties in place of side seams and sleeves, think “fitted poncho” or “tabard”. These tops are easy over the head and make independent dressing so easy for busy little people.

This gorgeous set of accessories are perfect for an advanced beginner knitter. The chicken mesh effect created by the Coop cable pattern is beautifully elastic and the stylish designs are perfect for both men and women.
