Baby Matinee Coat

Image
This is a Vintage Pattern! I know sometimes, it's hard to decipher vintage patterns, I've ran into ones that I just cannot figure out in the past, however, this one is quite simple!  I made this last summer while pregnant with my daughter.  It will fit her this summer, I can't wait to put it on her!  I used a baby weight white yarn, and hook size 2.75.  So I'd say it would fit a 12-18 month old.  The actual pattern, I believe uses a smaller hook.  It is very beautiful! REQUIRED MATERIALS 4 ozs. BEEHIVE Shetland Floss A No. 8 Celluloid Crochet Hook 1 yd. Ribbon Lustre Thread NOTES Work at a tension to produce about 3 patterns, in width, to two inches; the treble stitches measure 1/2 inch in height. Get the Free Pattern!
