It is a perfect outfit for Fall weather. Dress your baby in a white shirt/blouse and white tights and then pair it with these body hugging "Pinkie Shorts". If it is windy outside then put "Pinkie Leg Warmers" on baby's legs, dress your baby's head with matching "Pinkie Hat", and you are set to go and explore the world. (Hmmm, I should probably design a vest or a sweater to go with it.)
So, if you would like to knit this outfit all you need to know is:
- How to knit on double pointed and/or circular needles
- How to cast on and bind off
- How to do these stitches - knit, purl, yarn over, make one, and knit two together

3-6 months old
