PDF Eyelet Lace Baby Bodysuit Knitting Pattern

Instant download PDF knitting pattern to knit a traditional baby or reborn doll bodysuit set featuring decorative knitting in lace.

This design produces a delicate yet practical finished garment and includes the option to knit the set with or without the eyelet lace. If you prefer not to use lace, the eyelet rows can simply be replaced with a purl row, giving a plainer but equally lovely finish.

The garments are worked using a lacy stitch pattern with a plain yoke area. Depending on the size you wish to knit, the pattern can be worked in 4-ply or double knitting (DK) yarn.

The set comprises instructions to knit:

• A button-up bodysuit
• A matching bonnet
• Matching shoes
