Debbie Bliss Animal Magic Crochet Pattern

The Debbie Bliss Animal Magic layette set is an adorable design collection of sweaters, toys, a blanket, and a hat that’s perfect for welcoming a new baby. With a combination of knit and crochet projects included, you can mix and match your crafts and difficulty levels too. Eco Baby Wool is an ideal choice for baby items with its soft and smooth organic wool and easy care machine-washability. With a lovely palette of colors, this yarn makes it easy to create beautiful finished items you’ll be proud to use or gift! Animal motifs abound in this collection, and can be knit in with intarsia or added with duplicate stitch after you’ve completed the main piece-give intarsia a whirl with the pint-sized pocket toys to get a feel for the technique if it’s new for you! Texture and cable patterns are both charted and written out, and intarsia patterns are charted only.
