A vintage 1940’s design with a modern update, this matinee jacket for a new born would be an ideal christening gift.

The cardigan-jacket has a lace stitch border and moss stitch cuffs, hem and neckband. There are two variations for the neckline: a round-neck with a large single button fastening and a three-button fastening with slightly smaller buttons. The sleeves and yoke of the cardigan are knit in plain stocking stitch.

Recommended Pattern:
Another pattern to try is the Geometric Baby Blanket, to add a finishing touch to a nursery.

Other Materials Required:

• darning needle to sew seams
