Bubble Baby Sweater
Don't you just love to snuggle with babies? I know I do! Back in 2012, I designed the Bubble Baby Sweater with comfort and warmth in mind. I loved the texture of the stitch used and style of it when using a different color for the sleeves. It reminds me of Leathermen jackets from High School and I think it would be a fun option to do in local school colors for baby photo props. It's a quick and easy project to work up whether it's for your own sweet little one or an opportunity to serve others.I hope you'll enjoy this crochet pattern as much as I do.
