When we released the KW: Baby Collection a few years ago, the intent was to create a book of classic designs that would have longevity over time. As the years have gone by, we have received requests for some of the patterns as individual PDFs. Coming up to the 3rd year after the release, the time seemed right to make them available to you!

Colette, Darling, and Beatrix are available in both hard copy form and as individual PDF downloads. 

COLETTE

The body and sleeves of Colette are knit in the round and then joined for the raglan yoke. The yoke is worked back and forth for the last few inches to accommodate the larger heads of babies and toddlers. When joining the body and sleeves you may find it helpful to place a contrasting color marker to differentiate the beg of round from the raglan decrease markers.
