This crochet pattern requires intermediate skills and is designed to fit a 4-6 months baby. The little model in the photos is 6 months old, and 16 pounds.

The garments are made with sports weight yarn and a combination of Size E (US 3.5), Size F (US 3.75), Size G (US 4.00) crochet hooks.
They can be worked up in a single color or as a two-color set.

The outfit features a lacy jacket (approximately 375 yards of yarn) with a 3-button front and sleeves that narrow for a better fit at the lower arm and wrist.

The matching bonnet (approximately 175 yards of yarn) can be fastened with a chin strap and a single button or with traditional ribbon ties.

The shoes (approximately 60 yards of yarn) are done up in Mary Jane style and anchored with a button-down strap. Crafters can add their choice of embellishment.

The pattern is written American style (no graphs) with numerous photos for clarity. Blocking instructions are also included in the file.
