Crochet
I worked my son’s Christening outfit out of wool. He was baptised in April, so I wanted him to be warm. It consists of a bag to keep his legs and feet warm, a jacket and hat. I found the pattern in a woman’s magazine. My daughter was baptised in the summer so I crocheted her Christening Gown out of ordinary sewing thread, on the bodice, making up the pattern as I worked. I doubled the sewing thread and then used heavier thread, as I worked towards the hem. It is a very simple shell stitch, using trebles and double trebles. I added the sleeves and the pink bands after. The yellow doily pattern is from a very old Coates book called ‘Crochet Designs from Gothic Architecture’. The design is from the Italian sculpture, San Michele, Florence. The Christmas Tree decorations is of a Angel. The pattern is from "Thread Tree Trims" by Anne Halliday. I crocheted most of it in white and gold thread, with the face in white.
