Not long ago, most infants took their naps on the porch, in their bassinets or prams. My mum had such a pram that I took leisurely naps in among the fresh air and warm sun. The Vintage Baby Set was created as a throw back to that time when little ones needed a complete outfit to keep them warm and dry. It features an easy fair isle pattern and a twisted rib bodice on the cardigan for an heirloom feel.

Leggings: Leggings have a folded waistband with an I-cord tie, knit seamlessly, in the round. Short rows across backside with a gusset. Each leg is worked seamlessly, in the round.

Notions:

  • 2 stitch markers
  • 3-4 1cm buttons
  • safety pin
  • stitch holders
  • waste yarn
  • tapestry needle

In addition to a full skein in the main colour you will also need 16-20 yards of each of the contrast colours (for the entire set)

This is designed to fit with 5cm positive ease
