Lace for a Little One - 3 piece set for a prem baby

Created by: Australian Jayne

  • Project Details

    About

    Pattern is “Pretty Party Goer” from Patons Book 972 “26 New Designs for Baby Knitteds”. While this set was knitted in a vintage Patons yarn, any good quality, pure wool laceweight 2 ply would work, provided it is reasonably sturdy rather than fly-away light (Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace 2ply looks like it would work well as an alternative yarn).

        Thanks Hazel - I still have to decide what colour ribbons to use.

        @Australian Jayne: Jayne, choosing a ribbon is always a gamble; maybe a nice lavender? Or a nice light green for contrast. See, never easy 😉

        Thanks Jennifer! I have the stash of 2 ply since the 1970s and have been slowly knitting it up. Only problem is it take so little of it to make so much. I though I would use up all my 25 gm balls on that set, but I still have plenty left over.

        It would have been the early seventies whenI knitted the 2ply jackets for my nieces. I had my grandmother's patterns.

        @Jennifer M: Similar story for me - I was given my aunty’s patterns in the 70s. I have been adding to them through Op Shopping and online auctions ever since.

      Some absolutely beautiful knitting, and in 2ply. Gosh I think I am doing well when I tackle 4ply! Well done.

        Thanks so much Lyn. I love knitting in the fine yarns as my hands tend to hurt using larger needles (sounds like I’m in my 80s, but I am in my 50s). But yes, you’re right, 2 ply takes a long time to knit - back in the day I could have knitted an Aran jumper in the same time that little set took.
