Lilac Provence 🪻

A delicate baby set in a white-and-lavender palette that looks like a ready outfit for a photoshoot or hospital discharge. The cardigan with raglan sleeve is neatly knitted in stockinette stitch, while the lace panels along the fronts add airiness and formality. The white base of the set nicely offsets the lavender, and the floral embroidery establishes the “Provence” mood. Matching booties with contrast edging and ties complete the ensemble — everything looks cohesive, clean and childishly delicate.

Knitting method and techniques

Knitting needles (main construction) + decorative embroidery; booties are worked in a fine textured stitch with contrast edgings/bands.

Materials

• Baby yarn of medium weight (approx. 220–280 m/100 g), soft: merino/semi-merino or baby acrylic (non-itchy). Lavender color — ~120–160 g (cardigan + trim).
• White yarn of the same weight and composition — ~160–220 g (main part of the set + hat/bonnet).
• Embroidery threads (floss/finely spun wool) in shades of lavender, light blue, green — about 1–3 m of each.
• White buttons 5 pcs (approx. 10–12 mm).
• Tapestry/knitting needle, stitch markers, waste yarn/pins for holding stitches, cord/tape for ties (or an i-cord).

Care instructions

Washing: hand wash or machine wash on “wool/delicate” at 30°C, in a laundry bag, using a liquid detergent for wool/baby items. Do not rub the embroidery. Spin: minimal (up to 400–600 rpm) or no spin. Drying: lay flat on a towel, shaping the lace and bands; do not dry on a radiator. Blocking/steaming: light steaming through a damp cloth; do not press the iron. Store folded, fasten buttons to avoid stretching the band.
