Materials Required

Before embarking on your knitting adventure, gather the following essential materials to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience:

Knitting Needles: Size 2.75 mm (US 2) and 3.25 mm (US 3)
Yarn: Approximately 100 grams of 4-ply baby yarn in your preferred color
Buttons: 6 small buttons for the jacket
Stitch Markers: To mark important sections of the pattern
Tapestry Needle: For weaving in loose ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

Our pattern is meticulously designed to guide you through each step of the knitting process. From casting on to binding off, we've got you covered. Let's dive into the details:

Matinee Jacket

Begin by casting on 48 stitches with the smaller needles. Knit the bottom border, then increase stitches to create the body of the jacket. Add lace detailing along the edges for a delicate touch. Shape the shoulders, sleeves, and buttonholes, ensuring a perfect fit. Complete the jacket by sewing on the buttons and weaving in any loose ends.

Hat

Using the smaller needles, cast on 88 stitches. Work in the round, creating a ribbed brim. Transition to stocking stitch and decrease stitches gradually to shape the crown. Finish the hat with a stretchy bind-off for a snug and comfortable fit.

Trousers

Cast on 32 stitches with the larger needles. Knit the waistbands, then divide the stitches for the legs. Work in stocking stitch, shaping the gusset for a comfortable fit. Knit the legs to the desired length and finish with a simple bind-off.

Tips and Customization

Feel free to personalize your ensemble with these tips:

Choose your colors: Select yarn colors that complement your baby's or doll's personality and style.
Add embellishments: Embroider or crochet small details, such as flowers or animals, to make the outfit even more charming.
Adjust the size: If your preemie or doll is smaller or larger than 10 inches, adjust the number of cast-on stitches accordingly.

Congratulations on your exceptional creation! You have now knitted a beautiful and practical ensemble that will keep your beloved preemie or doll cozy and stylish. Whether it's a special gift or a cherished heirloom, this hand-knit treasure will bring years of joy and warmth.
