We're kicking off the Spring/Summer 2010 season with a delightful collection of baby knits, all knit in spring appropriate yarns, Berroco Comfort® DK and Berroco Pure® Pima.

Fashion forward parents will appreciate brand new Booklet #292 DK Baby, which is full of separates like Entiat, Endicott and Finlay. These pieces make is possible to change layers as the weather does. Dressing is simple with matched sets like the Berkshire shorts and tank set or Baird and Hartz , a simple pairing of a tunic and pull-on pants, touched at the edges with a hint of stranded colorwork.

Each pattern in booklet offers yarn amounts for both Comfort DK and Pure Pima. These two fibers are both ideal for infant knits; they're soft, machine washable and come in a wide range of cheerful colors.

Comfort DK is a hypoallergenic blend of Super Fine nylon and Super Fine acrylic. Banish memories of knitting with squeaky, unyielding yarns--this fiber blend knits up into a plush, resilient fabric. This season we've added new variegated shades as well as whimsical dotted prints.

Pure Pima is slightly dressier, a luxurious half mercerized, half unmercerized blend that has a subtle sheen. We've added strong, summery brights to the already extensive color range.

Free Patterns Biff is a riff on Baffin! Say that three times fast, then grab some Vintage™ and your knitting needles and whip up this puffer coat for your favorite little kid.
