I got the Pearl Grey cotton yarn while on a summer trip a couple of years ago, and It got lost among my stash… Until this summer: while on a regular visit to the yarn shop looking for something else, my eyes got caught on a beautiful Pink/coral thin cotton. I don’t usually favor pinks, but this one made me remember that soft grey I’d bought so long ago! And when my friend announced her pregnancy I knew What they were destined for!
The dress is a basic pattern I’d used many times before (I think every little girl of my aquitance has one! I usually do little changes on the pattern for texture minding the receiver, of course). The shoes and the bolero are made to match this dress pattern albeit on a subtle manner in the instep and yoke respectively. The diaper cover’s the only thing that was not designed initially to match the set (It comes from an old pattern magazine found at my grandmother’s), but my friend asked for this pattern after seeing another friend baby wearing It.
