The bodice (without the sleeves) weighs 5g and takes approximately 40 yards.
The saque without the sleeves weighs 40-45g. It weighs 50 grams with the sleeves.
The bonnet takes 10g without the ruffle. The directions made up a large bonnet that would fit a six-month-old. The one in the picture is after I adjusted the stitches and redid it.
I didn’t like the bootie pattern so used Baby Booties by Olga for this pattern. I didn’t have enough green for the last row of shells, so did a chain/picot trim on the top to match the bonnet. I would have liked green ribbon on these booties, but opted for the white so it would match the saque and bonnet.
About the bootie pattern, I want to clarify that I like the concept it uses (picking up stitches on the side to curl the top over), but didn’t like the way it was done. I couldn’t seem to do it smoothly and it had lumps on the side. I may try using some sport yarn and do some experimenting.
