This is such an easy pattern. It will make up in no time at all. I also see it doesn't take much yarn which means it will be economical to make. So it's pretty, easy and inexpensive. That says it all, plus I love the colors because it can be for a boy or girl.

More info needed on the yarn please. I tried to google it, there is a Bergere de france yarn called ideal but there just isn't enough info on here to determine if it's the same yarn called for in the pattern.
