Plaited Petal Set

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.

Sugarplum Lace & Picot Set

A Three‑Piece Doll Outfit in DK

There’s a special kind of magic in tiny lace stitches. The way they catch the light and the way a picot edge gives the softest little finish. 

A Sweet, Delicate Trio

Our Sugarplum Lace & Picot Set is designed to fit 12–18 inch (30–46 cm) dolls. This set includes three coordinating pieces:

• Matinee Jacket Knitted in separate sections — fronts, back and sleeves — before being slipped onto one needle to shape the yoke. The buttonbands are picked up and knitted for a neat, polished finish.

• Pinafore Dress Worked in two pieces, front and back, then sewn together. The lace pattern flows through the skirt with a crisp picot edge adding a gentle decorative touch.

• Matching Bonnet A soft, lacy bonnet finished with satin ribbon ties. Light, sweet, and perfectly matched to the rest of the set.

Each piece is worked in DK yarn, making it accessible, versatile, and ideal for gifting or display.

Why Sugarplum?

The name felt just right — soft, sweet, and a little bit magical. The lacework has a delicate rhythm, and the picot edging gives each piece a tiny sugared outline. It’s a set that feels both classic and modern, perfect for dolls who deserve something special.

Trip to Prague

Back from a few days in Prague which has to be my favourite European city and I wish I’d stayed longer.

Highlights - the food, the architecture and the coypus who got so close to the camera, I thought he was coming in for a kiss.

Only lowlight was the cobbled streets as my feet are now killing me. Only cure has to be feet up and back to the knitting!
