Knitting Pattern 81 – Rainbow Angel Top Set

Instructions to knit a cute girl’s angel top, shorts, bonnet and T-bar shoes.  I’ve used rainbow colours for mine, but I have also seen this set knitted in white and navy blue which gave a lovely naval look to it whilst still looking girly.  What will yours look like?
