April Showers Baby Afghan Set

This adorable April-themed baby afghan set includes the April Showers Afghan with join-as-you-go umbrella motifs, and coordinating Rainy Day Jacket and Galoshes sized for your newborn to 12 month old. The jacket and afghan incorporate a corner-to-corner style technique to create the design. This set is fourth in a series of baby afghan sets using a hybrid of corner-to-corner and filet crochet techniques, with a touch of patchwork, and popcorn stitches added to enhance the design. Instructions are also included to make the jacket and galoshes for your American Girl doll!

The American Girl Rainy Day Jacket and Galoshes are also included in the Year of American Girl Hats & More… pattern set.
