You can knit these baby gifts without the need to mark the size on your pattern. No more double- or triple-checking to be certain you have the right number of stitches. The finished size of these garments depends entirely on yarn weight and needle size. Create a soft and warm layette for your baby in preemie, newborn, or 3-6 month sizes, with finished chest measurements ranging from 14" through 20", using size 1 super fine, 3 light, or 4 medium weight yarn. Both layettes, the leaf and lace pattern sets, include a sweater, cap, bonnet, and blanket. Finished blankets measure approximately 24"x 30" or 24"x 36" when knit to gauge on US size 5 or 6 knitting needles. Intermediate skill level projects.
