Debbie Bliss brings you a new, modern take on a layette with Animal Magic to bring a touch of wonderful wildlife to your baby knits. This set is made up of six sweet patterns in the irresistible Eco Baby Wool and includes a classic garter stitch jacket, animal themed sweater, blanket, and pocket toys, along with an adorable crochet giraffe beanie and elephant toy. Animal motifs adorn the collection, which can either be created in colour work or swiss darned afterwards, so whether you’re looking to make a single pattern or craft the whole set, the patterns bring you all the steps and charts you need.
