That's what I'm telling Benjamin to say to anyone who looks at him funny on our next playdate. And I'm hoping that he'll be able to do so with a more enthused facial expression than the ones he has here:
Hmmm... perhaps Boowarmers are an acquired taste.
In case you'd like your little one to acquire a taste for Boowarmers, I've included the pattern I created for the ones you see on Benjamin. NOTE: I *strongly* recommend knitting a stockinette test swatch first. Feel free to massage the pattern however you like to achieve desired size and style.
