Little prince
When it comes to everyday baby knits that stand up to plenty of
wear, tear and washing, Bambino DK is one of our go-to yarns.
Stylecraft has added a couple of new shades to brighten up our
new-season knitting (All At Sea and Awesome Avocado) and some
cute new patterns to show them off. This little hat is ideal for those
chilly spring mornings – and it reminds us of royal baby Archie’s
pom-pom beanie, which took the world by storm at the beginning
of this year. In fact, we’d like an adult version, too, please!
