This is a burial gown in 4 sizes. It’s a raglan cardigan with increases at the waist for a fuller, lacy skirt. The gown is intended to be worn with the opening at the back, use ribbons for ties at the neck and waist. The underarm sleeve seam is meant to be left unsewn, for ease in dressing. It is a plain garment that you can embellish with your own ideas. Please use sport or dk yarn, these tiny angels should not be overwhelmed by worsted weight yarn.
