Dallas Cowboys Hat & Pant Set - 0-3 months

I made this adorable hat and pant set for my newest little cousin, Kaden.  He is Texan-born, so I'm sure he's going to find himself a Dallas Cowboys fan when he gets older.

I used  Red Heart Super Saver, #4 worsted weight yarn, in grey, blue and white.  I also added a decorative button to the hat and pants.
