Knitting Pattern for the Matinee Jacket, Bonnet & Booties - Perfect for Newborns!

This delightful knitting pattern includes detailed instructions for creating an adorable Matinee Jacket, matching Bonnet, and cozy Booties, ideal for newborns up to 6 months old or Reborn dolls with a length of 19-24 inches approximately. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern is designed to guide you step-by-step to create charming outfits that are perfect for gifting or keeping your little one warm.

For your project, I have beautifully utilized Sirdar BABY yarn in a lovely pale pink hue, complemented by James C Brett Twinkle in BTP2 for a touch of sparkle. This combination not only produces stunning results but also ensures the garments are soft and comfortable against delicate baby skin.

The Pink Outfit will require approximately 15-19 metres of knit-in-lace, depending on the size you choose, making it an enjoyable and manageable project. Meanwhile, the Blue Outfit needs around 8½-9½ metres of knit-in-lace, allowing for a seamless knitting experience. Please keep in mind that yarn requirements are approximate and may vary based on the specific brand or type of yarn you use, so it’s always wise to purchase a little extra to account for variations.

This pattern is exclusively written in English and follows standard UK knitting terminology, utilizing UK yarns, unless otherwise specified. Enhance your knitting skills while creating these stunning outfits that are not only fashionable but also practical for little ones.
