This heartwarming Victorian maternity costume will make a treasured gift for Mother’s Day, Baby Showers or your favorite mother to be. Lovingly fashioned to the smallest detail, the doll’s chubby tummy plays a lullaby when when pressed. The sweet little bassinet also has a music disk concealed in the bottom. Our adorable Mother to Be wears a richly gathered Housecoat (Peignoir) worked in a simple lace stitch that can be woven with narrow satin ribbon when complete. The Nightdress is also crocheted in a quick lace stitch that can also be woven with optional ribbon trim. A wide row of ruffled pineapples circle the hem. Under the nightie is an pretty pair of maternity bloomers. Tucked in the bloomers is a crochet pouch with music disk that looks like an old fashioned hot water bottle. Our sweet little musical bassinet has layers of ruffled pineapples and satin trimmed crochet lace. The bassinet frame is made from ordinary craft items and can be adjusted to fit various size boxes. Destined to become one of your most beloved crochet patterns ever, we predict it will become a family tradition to receive this heirloom doll from you.

Pattern includes Peignoir, Nightdress, Maternity Bloomers with musical tummy and musical Bassinet.
