Pattern Details
Designed for a Sport-weight yarn, we think Pascuali Sole is a perfect choice because it is soft against the body, perfect for baby's skin, and is machine washable.

CONSTRUCTION
Baby Novus is knit in two halves, sleeve to neckline, and then joined in the back and side seams with garter stitch panels. As with all of Laura’s designs she has loads of tutorials to help you with the tricky bits! The Novus construction is a blast, and this is a great way to check it out!
