The little knitted pinafore pattern finally has a name! Introducing Misselthwaite. Named for the manor in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic novel, “The Secret Garden”, and heading out to test knitters soon!
Pattern: Misselthwaite, the second variation. The original features seed stitch edging and a more streamlined skirt. This version has moss stitch boarders and skirt that is twice as full, causing it to naturally fall into soft pleats.
Yarn: Reynolds Soft Linen, color 0404
I really like this yarn. The colors are all lovely, soft, earth tones. It has great drape and a nice sheen. But I don’t think it was the best choice for this project. I wanted something sleeker then the wool that I used on the the first pinafore. I wanted to do a more dressy version. And from the perspective, it’s great. Going into it I knew it was a lighter weight worsted, and I was fine with the fabric having a more open weave to it, but I didn’t take into account how much it would stretch. I suspect this is both because of the type of yarn and the loose knit. Anyhow, the weight of the skirt stretches out the bodice. I suppose it’s not a big deal, but it’s not what I had in mind.
Size: Preschooler- I’m going to try it on some friends around here, but I’m thinking it would fit the average child from say age 3-5 or so. It fits 4 year old Galen quite well.
Additional details can be found on the Ravelry link.
I couldn’t resist adding on this little doily (can it be considered a doily if it’s not lace all the way through?). It was at the top of a stack of linens that I purchased at a rummage sale, and surely one of the sweetest bits of the set. I love the little yellow dots with the yarn. I’ve been told it looks like a little apron. Leave it to me…an apron on what is essentially an apron!
I also love the way that the loop-y edging around the buttons echos the lace.
Even though this is a size up for Màiri Rose, I thought I could get away with her wearing it for photos and having it look a little bit big. But, because of the stretch factor, it really looked ridiculous on her. I had tried it on Galen to see if the sizing was what I thought it would be and he offered to model for me!
Right before he informed me that I don’t make him enough dresses…
Oh that is too cute. I am going to make one of those for my almost 7 year old.
