My expectant daughter asked me to make this bunting, but I am not proficient on the Way Back Machine to find the knitting pattern. Can anyone please help me? Thank you.

So, I wonder how those assorted sellers have the nerve to be selling it!? Or maybe it’s one seller on all?

There are lots of 'free' patterns listed on eBay & Etsy - sellers just want money.
It's sad seeing Etsy reviews from people who have bought them.

Yes, they do it all the time. They make copies of old vintage patterns that are often in the public domain (free) or in old magazines and sell them for profit and cheat the original designer. It used to be mostly foreign sellers (many were Russian). I don't frequent Etsy, so I don't know if the sellers are mostly foreign or not these days.
Interesting!

Since I’m almost eighty, my thinking is that the designers of what I think of as vintage (published before 1960-ish) are long gone. Were no one Xeroxing and selling those patterns - uncorrected though they may be - they’d be lost forever. They don’t bother me, as long as they let the buyers know that what’s being sold is a copy, not the original hard copy. In pre-Etsy days, I was stung a few times when buying from eBay, and the copies I received by postal mail were lousy, mimeograph quality to boot.

Thank you so much rainie. The pattern instructions are not so clear. I wish the instructions were simpler. Thank you rainie.

Drops patterns include very good pattern-support. At the bottom of every pattern is a comments with prompt answers from Drops. Yes, some aren’t in English, but today’s devices seem to include automatic translation ability - highlight and click on translate.

If you buy from the Etsy seller you will get the Drops pattern anyway.

When expecting my first baby, I crocheted a vintage (circa 1956) bunting and hat set, from a booklet my mother had given me. No photos of mine, but it’s shown on Ravelry: Bunting & Cap Set #C-345 pattern by Coats & Clark
Mine never did get used, because my newborns were each 10 lbs. and too big for anything then sold as newborn size.
Ever since, newborns in the family get blankets, and not baby blankets. Babies grow too fast! They need bigger blankets for far more time than baby blankets ever get used.

A couple of similar freebies. As chikkie said - you will be paying for a pattern from Etsy that you can get free from Drops - it will be the same. I remember knitting one of these but it didn't get very well used, so I don't think I saved the pattern, but will check later.

Maybe I was spoiled by having my kids in the 1970s - well after the invention of snaps and zippers. Had anyone given me something with a long row of buttons to undo before I could get to the wet diaper and which would need rebuttonning after it was changed .., I would have been muttering curses upon the gift-giver’s head every time!
No amount of cuteness balances with convenience for an already stressed out, sleep-deprived mother of an infant!

Good point. I'll look for other patterns without buttons and show them to my daughter to choose from. Thank you.
