Cielo Kit

This kit does not include the pattern. You'll also need a copy of Claudia Q's new book, Making Memories: Timeless Knits For Children.

PRE-ORDER

This basic knit can be made with or without the crocheted neckpiece, depending on your (or your child's) preference. I chose to knit Cielo in a light blue colour that reminds me of my childhood joys of waking up to a cloudless sky.
