Description

What a cute little set this is! It's a little girls "sun" suit - which

is like a bathing suit - and a matching cardigan or "warming jacket." This is a really sweet vintage look, but is still totally great for today's little sun bather. :)

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is a .pdf file that is available for immediate download after purchase.

This pattern is originally from New Lux, 1952 Edition. This is no longer in circulation, so in order to make it available for more vintage loving knitters, I am transcribing the instructions exactly as written in the original pattern book and offering them here.
