Hello, I love this pattern and would like to know if you have a pattern for the booties and hat. It would make a a lovely gift as a set. Btw your very talented :)
ReplyDeleteBasically I used the Baby Boucle Blanket Set Hat and Booties pattern for the matching Hat and Booties on the Neopolitan Blanket, I sort of winged it, with left over colors from the Neopolitan Blanket. I took the picture and didn't think to write down the changes. Hope this helps. Thank you so much for the comments and interest. I have created several items since my last one, but got waylaid with illness and caring for an aging BFF. Maybe tomorrow??? Birdie
