CROCHET: A very pretty Christening or Baptismal robe to crochet from this classic pattern. It has long sleeves in the same lace in as the long skirt-and is trimmed with a simple trailing ribbon through the bodice.
This impressive gown is actually relativity quick to make, as the crochet lace has an open stitch pattern - lots of ground covered in a few rows!
Not quite an instant heirloom - but next best thing if you want to create one.
