Lacy Baby Bunting
Lion Brand® Lion® Cashmere Blend
GAUGE: 3 pattern repeats = 7 in. [18 cm] in pattern stitch with larger hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Lacy Baby Bunting Reviewed by Anna Lomax on 2008-11-14 |

| With our first grandchild on the way I was searching for a unisex pattern that was sweet but not overly girly. I was very exited to find this one-and it works well on a boy or girl.
