When choosing your materials, we recommend using Tanis Fiber Arts Aran Weight yarn (suitable for both Worsted or Aran weights) to achieve the perfect look and feel.

Our suggested gauge is 16.0 stitches per 4 inches, ensuring your finished piece fits just right.
The Vanilla Baby pattern includes a comprehensive yardage guide, specifying the required yarn amounts for each size: 225(250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500) yards, accommodating a range of little ones. The sizes available include Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9-12 months, 12-24 months, 2-3 years, and 4-6 years, making it a versatile choice for growing children.
