"Belinda's Blessing"
Christening Layette for Baby Dolls

       What little girl wouldn't love dressing her favorite baby doll up in a full, traditional, heirloom christening ensemble? Belinda's Blessing was designed for the popular 15" soft-body baby doll, and also fits 14"- 16" baby dolls (chest approx. 12.5"- 14" measured around under arms) - such as American Girls Bitty Baby™, Berenguer "Lots to Cuddle" soft-body baby, Cabbage Patch older or Anniversary Preemie, etc. As an added bonus, with a slightly larger hook and a few minor modifications, the outfit will also fit an 18" - 20" baby doll (chest size to 16")!

       The entire ensemble includes: Gown, Bonnet, Blanket, Bloomers, Booties, and a Bottle Cover that fits a 4" doll bottle! I used Plymouth Dreambaby Shine DK weight yarn, and trimmed the set with satin ribbons and ribbon roses. Of course, if making this set for younger children, I would not use any small trims that might pose a choking hazard.

       This set will also be treasured by doll collectors looking for just the right outfit for their "reborn" or other precious baby dolls, and the larger size may fit an actual "premie" baby.

       The Belinda's Blessing pattern set has not been previously published, and is currently available in print exclusively from this website.

       6% sales tax will be added to all orders for Michigan residents, but you can save printing, shipping and handling costs by ordering the PDF version of the pattern! It will be emailed to you immediately, and you may print it yourself at your leisure.

NOTE: Due to the problems some folks have had receiving emailed PDF's, I am adding a new option for purchasing: Electronic Download via Ravelry.com.      You will still check out using PayPal, but the Ravelry Buy Now link will take you directly to the Ravelry checkout instead of our shopping cart so that you will be able to download your pattern(s) immediately and securely!       You DO NOT have to be a Ravelry member to order through this link -- and I actually recommend it over emailed PDF's!
