Sheepish Little Frock
Knitting and sheep go together like peanut butter and jelly, and are even more adorable in baby sizes.
This little dress is sized in newborn to 24 months, and can easily be knit longer or shorter to your preference (think tunic sweater vs longer dress) - shorter will likely work better for crawlers, so their adorable little knees don’t tangle in the skirt.
Sheep are cute in all the colors possibilities, from crazy neons and rainbows, to lovely monochromatic greys, so be as creative as you like.
