Girls Pea Coat

[tiffmeyer]

This is another item I enetered in our local state fair.

Enjoy.

 

The coat got a blue ribbon and the hat got a red (second place) ribbon.

 

I made this for my sisters daughter she looks so cute with it on.

Those are really cute. Did you make up the pattern or get them from a book?

[lis_in_mn]

I would love to know where you got that pattern. It's so cute!

 

I want to make one right away.

 

thanks in advance,

Very pretty and very cute. I like the color combo.

Its from a little of both. It is a pattern from 1953. I had to do a lot of guessing and figuring it out on my own, the instructions were not very clear. It was not an easy project. I think I put it away like 3 times and every time I decided to tackle it again. It sure wasn't like the patterns you can buy today.

It's awesome, you completely deserved the ribbons!

Oh, so classy and adorable! I love the combination of pink and black...very sophisticated. Your niece is so lucky. You did such a great job on them and apparently the judges felt that way, too!

[Selune]

Certainly a well-deserved ribbon. You did a wonderful job. I so need a little girl to dress up.

Congratulations on your well-deserved ribbons, the hat and coat are beautifully made. Classic designs like that never go out of fashion.

 

I have made a coat, hat and bootees of similar style but in knitting. I can't knit anymore due to arm problems, and I would LOVE to have a pattern like yours for crochet. If you ever write it up I would be happy to pay you for your time. Seriously.

[TonkaMama]

Congratulations on this beautiful set! I love the colors.

[lhasaapsolady]

Congratulations, it's lovely. I think the hat deserved a first place also. I'd love to make it, do you have the name of the book the pattern came from?

[SHERYL]

Very nice ~ the hat is adorable.

Wow, that little coat is very beautiful. You did a great job, congratulations on your ribbon . What type of yarn did you use for the sweater, was it a worsted weight like 4 ply, or a smaller type like baby or sports yarn? Judy

Very nice - terrific job!

Thank you so much everyone.

here is the link for the person I bought it from on ebay.

I don't know what the book is called if there is any?

I bought the pattern a while back and just looked for it now on ebay and here it is. Just that I had to figure some of it out on my own I thought the pattern was a little difficult, thats just me though.
