Lilac and Lily, complete matinee sets for little baby cherubs!
This is a lovely set to knit.
Lilac is a full matinee coat with a lace design which incorporates the panels making the godets.
Lily is exactly the same pattern but with the design condensed into a peplum giving you the choice of making a full matinee jacket or a cardigan with a frill at the hem.
The designs are finished with matching bonnets, baggy pants with a frill at the ankles and little boots.
The design is quite versatile, I have knitted the matinee coat all in baby blue, with a simple pull on hat, and it looks great on a baby boy (shown in last picture, hat not on this pattern though).
The body of the jacket is made all in one piece to keep the pattern neat and avoid a bit of sewing up. It means you have quite a lot of stitches to cast on, but once the pattern is set it is quite simple.
Skill level is moderate, but if you are a novice the instructions are very clear, and it is a great set to work on to increase your skills a little.
