Free Baby Sweater and Booties Set Knitting Pattern

Updated December 3, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

This free baby sweater and booties set knitting pattern was printed with the suggestion that it be knit using shell pink and turquoise with the  smocking in turquoise blue. 

The magazine article also included a matching bed jacket for the "convalescing" mother completing the ensemble. The size stated in the tutorial is three months, but the infant in the photo appears to be approximately six months old. This gave me pause, made me scratch my head and wonder as to the reasons Mom would still be recovering from birth that long after the fact. However, three months is the stated sizing of this pattern.
