Unique Baby Gear Ideas realizes that the yarn recommendation in this pattern is rather vague. This is an issue encountered in many antique patterns and it would be very helpful if our knitting friends might share the names and weights of (modern) yarns that they find and use successfully with this piece. Use our feature page to share the weight, brand and/or name of the yarn you would like to recommend.
