Belle Bébé

Belle Bébé is a chunky shrug for all the sweet little belles in your life. It features a wide ruffled rib edge and collar, as well as large bell sleeves with a simple lace rib pattern around the edges, creating a romantic look. The shrug is worked from the top down with raglan increases, so there’s no seaming, and comes in sizes 3 months through 6T. Two crochet ties or pieces of ribbon close the shrug at the front. Knit in a soft chunky wool or wool-blend yarn, this shrug is great for wearing outdoors in the Fall or during the cooler days in early Spring, and can be worn inside in the heart of the winter in colder climates. The little girl you knit this for is sure to feel warm and comfy in this!
