Baby Layette

Discover the adorable Baby Layette knitting pattern set, originally featured in Simply Knitting magazine in two parts. This delightful collection includes four essential pieces: a charming shawl, a cozy matinee jacket, cute booties, and a sweet bonnet, perfect for your little one or as a thoughtful gift for new parents. The shawl showcases a beautifully textured stitch as its main feature, beautifully complemented by an intricate lace border and a delicate leaf lace edging that adds an extra special touch. The matching matinee jacket incorporates the same textured stitch and elegant lace details, ensuring a cohesive and stylish look for your baby. For tiny feet, the booties are crafted using a combination of the lovely lace stitch and soft stocking stitch, providing both elegance and comfort. Completing the ensemble, the bonnet mirrors the design of the jacket and shawl, featuring the charming combination of lace and textured stitches that tie the entire layette together. You will need quality yarn for your projects: for the shawl, gather 11 x 25 gram balls; for the jacket, 3 x balls; for the booties and the bonnet, just 1 x ball each will suffice. Perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters, this Baby Layette set not only keeps your baby snug and stylish but also makes for a treasured heirloom. Get started on this lovely knitting journey today and create beautiful garments that your baby will love! Photos courtesy of Simply Knitting.
