This Nautically-inspired set is perfect for summer adventures on the beach, to the park, or just for a cute photo shoot. Pair it with a white tee and your little guy or gal will be ready for any occasion. Made in Aran or worsted weight yarn, this fun and quick project can be done in a weekend. I recommend using a cotton/acrylic blend yarn that has enough stretch and softness to be comfortable to wear and easy to wash.
