Size: Toddler 2(4-6), chest 21(23-24)”

Off-white filet mesh crochet pinafore worn over a blue dress (shown laying flat) from a free vintage pattern in lace yarn, sizes 2, 4, 6 years.

Delicate filet crochet takes center stage in this 1990s vintage crochet pattern for a toddler’s Lacy Pinafore. Worked in fine crochet cotton thread, the open-and-filled mesh pattern follows a charted design across the skirt and yoke, creating a lacy overlay finished with a ruffled hem, pink ribbon bows, and button closures down the back. It’s an elegant lace/openwork project for crocheters who enjoy following a stitch chart and want a special-occasion piece for a little one.
