Welcome a new arrival with Crochet For the Best-Dressed Baby, ASN 1247 by Alice Hyche!

This 1997 American School of Needlework book (ISBN 0-88195-817-4), produced by Jean Leinhauser, is worked in baby-weight yarn (Bernat Lollipop Baby and Baby Sparkle are named). Each layette pairs an easy-on sweater, bonnet, booties, and matching afghan; a hooded bunting is included for extra warmth. Patterns are crochet only.

Featured designs include:

• Babykins Bunting and Afghan – yellow sparkle hooded bunting with pompon ties and a 34" × 34" afghan
• Cutie Pie Layette – mint sweater, ruffled afghan, bonnet, and pompon booties
• Little Cherub Layette – white crossed-stitch sweater with ribbon roses, matching bonnet, booties, and afghan

A complete late-nineties ASN baby-wear booklet for collectors of vintage infant crochet.
