Tips

* For a snugger fit, use a smaller needle size. * For a looser fit, use a larger needle size. * If you don't have light worsted weight yarn, you can use medium worsted weight yarn instead. Just adjust the needle size accordingly. * If you're a beginner, don't be afraid to ask for help or consult online resources if you need clarification on any of the steps. * Enjoy the process of creating something special for your little one!
