While knitting for babies is always a special experience, this blast-from-the-past design offers an extra bonus: it's adapted from a real vintage pattern. Create the same classic toy mothers and fathers have been making for centuries with this modern version of the 19th Century Baby Ball. Knit with ten stripes that are cleverly swirled together like a piece of 1950s sweet shop candy, this garter stitch ball is just what your baby's nursery needs.
