BERNE, Ind. -- Heart's Delight Baby Layettes is a popular Annie's crochet pattern book -- brought back by popular demand.

The book was first published by Annie's Attic in 1989 and remains one of the company's most requested crochet pattern books. It includes a girl's layette and a boy's layette. The girl's layette includes an afghan, a long dress, a bonnet, booties, and a bottle cover. The boy's layette includes an afghan, a sweater, a bonnet, booties and a bottle cover.

Both sets are sized for newborns and infants 3-6 months. Each set calls for DK weight yarn, with patterns written at the intermediate skill level.
