Astrid & Adam are the best of friends. They enjoy showing off their very own romper suits with star and heart embellishments. When its time for bed they love to snuggle down under their cosy garter stitch blanket knitted in Bellissima & Bambino DK.

Knits like a merino with the practicality and value for money of an acrylic yarn.
