Knitting Pattern 97 – Frilly Sweater Set

Instructions to knit a girl’s frilly sweater with a flower-patterned collar, matching bootees and bonnet, and a contrasting pair of leggings. Please note that we have had to use a 3rd colour not mentioned in the pattern to show off the flowers, as the contrasting yarn had the exact same shade of pink as the sweater, so in places, it looked like we had missed out some flowers.

To knit this adorable baby sweater set you need to be able to knit, purl, yarn forward, knit 2 stitches together, knit 3 stitches together and pick up stitches.
