About this pattern

A baby's face from the front in a knitted bobble hat: blue with a paler blue stripe, a white turned-up cuff and a white pompom on top. He has two dark eyes with a white glint, pink cheeks and a pale blue pacifier whose ring hangs in front of his chin; his shoulders are in blue. Apart from the glints the design mirrors left and right. Dark brown outline. A small piece for a new baby card, a 4 inch hoop or the corner of a blanket, with room underneath for a name of your own. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 36 stitches and uses six thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 36 high: 722 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Tawny 951, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322 and 3 more).
