A lovely christening gown with structure on the skirt that can be passed down for generations. The christening gown is knitted in a round bottom-up with raglan decreases and an opening at the neck. The skirt can be knitted well in advance before the christening, and the yoke can be finished just before the christening to ensure a good fit on the christening day.
