This over-the-top frilly crochet ruffle wrap is perfect for newborn photo shoots and can be worn alone, or teamed with a host of accessories.

The frill is worked afterwards and may be left off for unisex use. Or, if frills don’t appeal, you can replace it with ribbon, lace, flowers, a bow, a pompom, etc.

For newborn size, you will need: Approximately 150m DK yarn and 10m ruffle yarn, 3.50mm hook, a button, 4 stitch markers and a needle for neatening ends.

Buttons loops are sized to fit a 2.5cm (1”) diameter button. Size can be varied and you will be instructed where to make changes in the pattern.

Instructions are included for working to fit preemie, 3 month and 6 month old babies also. Please note yarn thickness, hook size and quantities will differ from those quoted for the newborn size.
