Birmingham, Alabama. In the Southern states, the dead of winter is interrupted by the blooming of camellias, resplendent in creamy white and shades of pink, emerging from the shelter of their glossy leaves. They hold a special place for Alabamans, who have shown their exquisite taste by selecting it as their state flower. The Camellia Garden at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens is one of the best places to enjoy this Southern beauty.
This sweet baby bunting and bonnet set celebrates both thecamellia and the birth of a lucky baby girl. Knit in a soft blend of merino, cashmere and silk, its flower petal trim and soft colors evoke Alabama’s favorite flower. The snaps up the front allow easy inand- out and the bottom can be left unsnapped to strap the little angel into a car seat. When the drawstring is pulled, the bottom of the bunting becomes a white camellia blossom. Minimal shaping and simple garter stitch put this project within the reach of an adventurous beginner. Pattern includes my recipe for perfect sweet tea.
This pattern is also available in the instant download ebook, Deep South Knitting.
