Yarn
I used Baby Bee Sweet Delight yarn from Hobby Lobby. This is one of the softest yarns I have used. It is so easy to work with and the finished project is so soft, cozy, and snuggly. I used four different colors but you use as few or more colors as you prefer.
You can substitute this yarn with alternative yarns such as Hobby Lobby Baby Bee Sweet Delight Prints, Hobbii Bingo, Knit Picks Brava Recycle, or Lion Brand Baby Soft Solids.
