Hail Spot Dress and Booties Newborn Set BJ122

Hail Spot is an enchanting, vintage-inspired yoked baby dress that can be beautifully styled on its own or worn as an adorable pinafore. This delightful design features a faux under-layer of contrasting lace for an added touch of elegance, a welt at the hem, and charming purl stitches scattered throughout to create the whimsical effect of hail spots. The Hail Spot dress is seamlessly knitted from the bottom up, making it a satisfying project for knitters of all skill levels.

The coordinated booties boast the same delightful hail spots throughout the foot and are finished with lace "socks" in a contrasting color, ensuring your little one will be both stylish and comfortable. These booties are knitted in the round and feature only one seam along the base of the foot, adding to their cozy design.

This comprehensive pattern is specifically designed for fingering weight yarn and fits babies from birth to 3 months, making it a perfect gift for new parents. You will appreciate the fully written-out instructions, accompanied by an optional chart for the intricate lace edging. Detailed instructions along with a schematic diagram are included to guide you through each step, and all measurements are provided in both metric and imperial for your convenience.

The featured garments are crafted using the exquisite Brooklyn Tweed Peerie yarn (in the colors Muslin and Arabesque), but feel free to substitute with any fingering weight yarn of your choice. To complete both the dress and booties, you will need just 2 (50g) balls of the main color and 1 ball of the contrasting color.

Whether you're looking to create a special keepsake for your own baby or searching for the ideal gift that will be cherished for years to come, the Hail Spot pattern is perfect. Enhance your knitting repertoire and dive into this delightful project today!
