Size: 14″ wide x 15″ high (not counting straps)

Practical and pretty in equal measure, this 1980s vintage crochet pattern adds a decorative touch to any nursery while keeping baby essentials within easy reach. Buttoned straps hang the piece securely over a crib rail, while a center heart pocket and two-tone pastel pockets on either side hold everything from lotion to toys. A lovely addition to any baby crochet collection, it transitions easily from a diaper-and-powder organizer to a handy toy holder as baby grows.
