Product Description
Sweet as pie and perfect for welcoming new little ones to the world, the Debbie Bliss Lilac Rose Set is a dynamite choice for baby shower gifts. This crossover cardigan, shoes, and bear set is adorned with repeating rose motifs worked in intarsia to create pops of color throughout and tie the set together. Cardigan is knit flat in pieces form the bottom up and seamed with a modified drop shoulder, v-neck, and knitted ties. Shoes are knit flat and seamed with short row shaping creating a Mary Jane style and have an added strap and button closure to help them stay on. Bear is also knit flat and seamed. All three items are knit in Baby Cashmerino, a longtime favorite for baby and children's items for its smooth, soft blend of Merino wool, cashmere, and acrylic that's machine-washable for easy care.

Debbie Bliss Lilac Rose Set: Complete Baby Knitting Collection
Overview of the Set
The Lilac Rose Set by Debbie Bliss is a comprehensive knitting collection designed for babies aged 3 to 24 months. This downloadable PDF pattern includes three coordinated projects: a crossover cardigan, a small teddy bear, and matching shoes. All pieces are crafted using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn, a luxurious blend ideal for delicate baby garments.
Lilac Rose Crossover Cardigan
The centerpiece of this set is the crossover cardigan, a versatile layering piece available in five size options to fit babies from 3 months through 24 months. The cardigan features finished chest measurements ranging from 51cm (20 inches) for the smallest size to 70cm (27½ inches) for the largest, with proportional sleeve and length adjustments across all sizes.
Construction and Techniques: This intermediate-level cardigan is worked flat using knitting needles, meaning pieces are knitted separately and then seamed together for a polished finish. The design incorporates stranded colorwork, a technique where multiple yarn colors are carried across rows to create decorative patterns. The crossover front styling provides both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality for dressing babies.
Closures and Details: The cardigan features button closures, with quantities varying by size (5 to 7 buttons depending on the size selected). Additionally, buttonholes are worked into the knitted fabric to accommodate these buttons, requiring careful attention during construction. Some versions include snap fasteners as an alternative closure option, offering flexibility for caregivers.
Yarn Requirements: The cardigan requires 3 to 6 balls of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Silver 12 (the main color A), plus small amounts of coordinating colors: Olive 312 (B), Plum 314 (C), and Lilac 10 (D). These colors create the stranded pattern work throughout the piece.
Needles and Gauge: Construction uses 3mm (US 2-3) and 3.25mm (US 3) knitting needles. The pattern is worked to a gauge of 25 stitches and 34 rows over a 10cm square in stockinette stitch using the 3.25mm needles, ensuring proper fit and drape.
Lilac Rose Bear
Accompanying the cardigan is a small teddy bear toy, measuring approximately 18cm (7 inches) in height. This project is an excellent introduction to toy knitting for intermediate crafters.
Construction Method: The bear is knitted using the same flat-worked technique as the cardigan, with pieces subsequently seamed together. This approach differs from seamless in-the-round construction, making it suitable for knitters comfortable with assembly work.
Materials and Stuffing: The bear uses 1 ball each of Silver 12, Olive 312, Plum 314, and Lilac 10 from the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino range. Once knitted and seamed, the bear is filled with washable toy stuffing, making it safe and practical for infant play and care.
Needles and Gauge: The bear is worked using 2.75mm (US 2) knitting needles, which produce a tighter gauge of 29 stitches and 38 rows per 10cm square in stockinette stitch. This denser fabric creates a more stable structure suitable for a stuffed toy.
Lilac Rose Shoes
The set includes a pair of matching shoes in one size, designed to fit babies aged 0 to 3 months. These delicate footwear pieces complete the coordinated collection.
Construction Details: Like the other items in the set, the shoes are worked flat and seamed. Small buttons serve as decorative closures or embellishments, adding charm to the finished shoes.
Yarn and Needles: The shoes require 1 ball of Silver 12 plus small amounts of Olive 312, Plum 314, and Lilac 10. They are knitted using 2.75mm (US 2) needles, maintaining the same tight gauge as the bear for a structured, wearable fit.
Yarn and Color Information
All three projects in the Lilac Rose Set use Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, a premium yarn available through LoveCrafts. The primary colorway features Silver 12 as the base color, complemented by Olive 312, Plum 314, and Lilac
