What a cute outfit. It's so sweet. I read the pattern directions and they are no only very well written but very easy to understand and follow. It's just basic stitches,nothing fancy or hard. I have twin baby grand sons so this is going on my to do list for sure.

Oh, my gosh how sweet is this set? On top of it all..it has a print button I love when I see that how about you? I see this pattern in so many colors I can't wait to get started on the first in a soft mint. Love that color for both sexes. The extra bonus is a super cute little bonnet.
