Pattern from: McCall’s Needlework & Crafts, Spring 1978
Craft: Knitting
Made for: My boys, among others
Size: Infant
Needle: US 2 – 2.75 mm
Yarn Weight: Fingering / 4 ply (14 wpi)

Notes:

This is copied from a pattern I typed up many years ago from the McCall’s magazine. I wrote it up for two gauges, because it varied based on the yarn. When making these as gifts, I used white yarn and included several colors of ribbon.
