Seven Seas Baby Set Reviewed by Catherine Drake on 2008-05-29
This pattern was so much fun to knit! It went together perfectly. I used the colors the pattern called for and even though they looked awful together, they worked up beautifully. I did add a single crochet row around the end of each sleeve and on the front to help conceal where I carried the yarns up to change the colors. It came out great!! I also added a big tassel on top of the hat. Cute!!
