Crochet pattern for baby matinee jacket, bonnet and shoes
This set is wonderful, like something from a historical movie!
I bet some of you will love this and some think I’m crazy to even include it, but this is all I could ever have wished for when I was a little girl in the ’80s. I just can’t resist it 🙂
Crochet this baby matinee set with light worsted yarn and crochet hook E/3.5mm.
I did a lot of both knitting and crochet projects in Drops Muskat when my kids were little and think this light worsted yarn would be great for this pattern. It’s a 100% Mercerized Egyptian Cotton yarn, soft with a bit of sheen.
