Baby Heirloom Christening Layette – Restored Vintage Knitting Pattern (1980s) Victorian Lace 7-Piece Set 0-3 Months 2-Ply Advanced A4 & US Letter PDF Instant Download- 114

One of the most extraordinary vintage knitting patterns in the CherryStitch Archive, this breathtaking 7-piece heirloom christening layette represents the absolute pinnacle of traditional baby knitting. Worked in ultra-fine 2-ply baby wool, the fabric is gossamer-light — a web-like, weightless textile adorned throughout with cascading butterfly diamond Victorian lace that feels almost too beautiful to be real, yet provides incredible warmth for a precious newborn.

The complete layette includes seven heirloom pieces: the Carrying Coat (Christening Gown), Dress, Matinee Jacket, Vest, Pilchers, Bonnet and Booties — each one a work of art in its own right, and together forming a complete christening set of incomparable beauty.

Size: One size — 0–3 months. For finished measurements of individual pieces, please refer to the photos provided.

Yarn: 2-ply baby wool (ultra-fine lace weight)
