Taylor~



Snuggle - a close and affectionate (and often prolonged) embrace.
Snuggle a baby,snuggle up...
This is my version...a knit pattern for a baby wrap.A wrap,a buttoned cape,for a baby to be .




Simple garter stitch with eyelets and shaping detail...the right yarn,the right outfit,and baby is warm,safe,snuggled,a bit...



I added an easy button loop...and adorable pearlized heart buttons.



Wrap around ease to put on and take off...



I hope you enjoy this pattern...I enjoyed designing and making it for Taylor...
