The Little Shephard Layette is created in a mix of two wonderful yarns by Debbie Bliss. Baby Cashmerino and Eco Baby Wool are both fantastic for baby knits like this pattern - with blends that are soft against the little one’s skin and sturdy enough to craft timeless pieces, made for generations. This sweet set includes a mix of knitting patterns - an adorable bonnet, booties, knitted dress, and Fair Isle cardi - as well as a sweet sheep toy crochet pattern and granny square baby blanket. Craft the whole set for a special baby or pick a favourite pattern for a gorgeous gift.
