Today's matching pair come from one of the patterns in the Julie Williams 'Seasonal Dresses' pattern book. This design is called 'Little Waves', but I think it looks a lot like the paper chains we had when I was a girl.
I added some little coloured faux pearls to the design, these came from ebay.
I re-worked the dress chart and, using 'Seasonal Sweaters' patterns for the knitting pattern, I came up with the design for the jumper.
As regular visitors will know, the original patterns were designed to fit the 'Little Cotton Rabbits' series of soft toy but these are a little smaller than the Christmas elves I am making these clothes for, so I made these clothes in double knit instead of 4 ply. The grey is alpaka double knit and the white is baby soft.
PS Whilst I really love to read your comments, I will understand if you do not feel you have anything to say about yet another dress and jumper combo, perhaps you could just say hi to let me know that you stopped by.
Gorgeous pattern and colours and the little pearls have the appearance of Christmas lights. Fabulous! X
