I made it with unknown acrylic yarn I bought at Goodwill ( I lost the labels). Judging by the colors, I'm guessing it's from the 70's. The original pattern called for a bobble and cable stitch that I really didn't like for several reasons: bobbles eat up yarn and I only had two skeins with NO chance of finding a third; babies lying on their backs will also be lying right on those bobbles; I tried them for the front and didn't like how mine turned out. So I substituted braided cables on the front and trinity stitch on the back. I also inserted a row of eyelets for an I-cord drawstring on the sleeves.
