Children's Cardigans, Dolls Clothes, HatsElizabeth Primrose Patterns

A 3-piece layette for doll or baby

The Plaited Petal Set brings together a cardigan, hat and bootees, each worked in a beautifully staggered eyelet pattern that creates a soft, petal‑like texture across the fabric.

Knitted in DK wool, this set is sized to fit a 19–22” (48–56 cm) doll or a 0–3 month old baby, making it perfect for gifting, keepsakes, or dressing a favourite doll.

A cardigan with gentle structure

The cardigan is framed with moss stitch borders, giving a timeless edge to the eyelet fabric. The back, fronts and sleeves are worked separately up to the yoke, where all pieces are joined together on one needle, creating a smooth top section that shapes beautifully around the shoulders.

A cosy hat with plaited ties

The matching hat begins with a snug moss stitch brim, then moves into the same staggered eyelet pattern for a coordinated look. Shaped earflaps add warmth and the finishing touch is a pair of plaited ties.

Bootees with satin ribbons

The bootees echo the cardigan and hat with the same eyelet texture, creating a beautifully cohesive set. They fasten with satin ribbon ties, adding an elegant detail that completes the trio.

Soft texture and simple lines for little wardrobes

The cardigans were designed with the idea of creating something light, comforting, and beautifully textured for little ones to wear through every season. Knitted in Double Knitting (DK) yarn and worked in a simple, rhythmic Andalusian stitch, these cardigans have a timeless feel that suits both everyday wear and special moments.

The pattern includes two neckline options — a round neck and a V‑neck — giving knitters the freedom to choose the style that suits their child or project best. Both versions feature rib edgings and clean lines that keep the design looking polished while remaining wonderfully easy to knit.
