I knit this using the Soft Folds pattern by Amanda Jones from Issue 117 of Simply Knitting Magazine UK. I used Lion Brand Fishermen's 100% Wool with natural oils and Paton's Lace with acrylic, wool and mohair doubled up. It is so soft, squishy and warm!

The hat and booties are based on the pattern R0121 in the Regia Journal 004. I added a pompom because I just love making them! I also added lots of ribbon (which can be cut down to be more practical if necessary) because it is just so beautiful! I also made an extra pair of shoelaces since, again, not sure how practical ribbon actually is even tho it looks great! This mitten, bootie and bonnet set is newborn size and made from super soft Knitpicks Chroma. You'd never believe it is mostly wool since it is so silky soft!

The owl pattern is String Theory Caper Sock 80% Merino and 10% Cashmere, which I previously wasn't thrilled about (due to cost vs. number of breaks) but love it in these little gems.
