We'll be working from her pattern in Knit Simple Fall 2010, which includes a full layette: sweater, bobble blanket, hat and booties, sized for newborn-3 months, 6-9 months and 12-18 months. The sweater is perfect for boys or girls, and it is worked in pieces so you can apply everything you learn to adult sized clothing.
