My daughter absolutely LOVES this baby carrier. She is constantly toting her babies around and now she can still play, and carry other things while having her baby close! I've also made one for my niece and now my son is requesting one so his is up next :) These are super fast and easy to make, I can make one in about 1.5 hours.
You will need
• 1 skein of loops and threads impeccable yarn
• size k or 6.5mm hook
• scissors
• darning needle
• 2 buttons
This pattern was written out while making one for my son who is almost 3 so it should fit 2-4 years.
if you need it bigger just add a few stitches too the end, don't forget to lengthen the arm straps as well if your making it larger.
