The pattern is from my collection of vintage knitting patterns. I would like to work this up larger for my little girl in the same colour. It really suits her skin tone. I love the yarn and will use it again, soft with great stitch definition and machine washable. Now we’ve lost Jaeger….this is a good alternative to Matchmaker Merino. I just scraped in with nothing to spare on this one. A fiddly bit of sewing up, but I like that part. Maybe next time I’ll work it in one piece to the armholes.
Mods: I omitted a button and the filet ribbon around the neck, not practical or safe! Oh, and I compensated by adding extra stitches to the seam edges so the pattern appeared seamless on the side seams.

Is there a way you can share the pattern since it is vintage?
Oh it is beautiful and the wine color looks lovely too.
I am loving the pattern and the knitting. ohh… it’s just lovely. I can’t think of anything modern that I have seen for a baby that is anywhere near as cute.
I love that colour. Some vintage pattens are so much more interesting in texture than the modern designs.
