Description

This is just the cutest little shorts set! Depending on your color choice, it can either be for a little girl or a little boy. This is a really sweet vintage look, but is still totally great for today's little hipsters. :)

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is a .pdf file that I will email to you.
