Crochet a Summer Lace Cap & Socks for a Baby Girl

Between too much sun and the sudden breeze that can blow up even on a warm day, it's never a bad idea to have something a little bit warmer on hand even during the summer months to protect baby's sensitive skin.

This cap & socks combo are created in an easy cluster pattern that will take no time at all to work up. Created in Caron Simply Soft yarn, they are so cuddly you'll wish you could wear them yourself!

You can find a pair of crochet sandals and a pretty lacey halter to match this combo here.

Instructions are written for the beginning crocheter, using no abbreviations in the main pattern.
