'Wood Sorrel' Christening Vest & Shorts
by Rita Taylor
These days, many mothers prefer to put their baby boys in trousers. I haven't found any vintage patterns for this style, so I designed this outfit for a more contemporary look, with a lace pattern along with a cable stitch.
It is smart enough for a christening, or --in a colour-- for any other occasion.
2 sizes: 3-6 | 6-12 months
Materials:
- 452-678 m (494-741 yds) / 100-150g lace weight yarn (shown in 251 White colorway)
- two 1cm (3/8”) buttons
- 1m (1 yd) of ~4mm (1/4”) elastic
Tension/Gauge swatched on 3.75mm needles (US 5)
Vest:

length to back neck: 28cm (11”) | 32cm (12.5”)
