Okay, how cute does my grandson, Gabriel, look wearing my newest design, "Baby Chick Apron" with "feet" pockets? I wanted to design a cute, quick and easy pattern. And, this truly fits the bill.
This is the perfect project to complete before Easter for your little one to wear while Easter Egg Hunting - no basket required. Eggs can easily be collected and stored in the "feet" pockets.
The apron measures 18" long, 14" across at the widest and 9" across at the chest. I used #4 worsted weight yarn and a 6.0mm hook. I love using 1 hook size for an entire pattern.
