This subject interested me as around the necks of baby singlets cords are not allowed now days.
Jennifer how do you make them?? and what colour??
It is so different to knitting them in the 1960's

I thought cords around the neck went out with the ark. Even my babies (1960's) had singlets with those 'envelope' type necklines. Are these still in use, or has something superceded them?

My baby's singlets have the envelope neckline or a few buttons or domes on the shoulder. They are all shop bought though as I can't sew or knit to save myself !

Thanks for your replies but they do not help me to get my knitting finished. Who said they have cords around the neck?
Ever heard of elastic, crochet edging, or a ribbed finish?
I have knitted heaps although an old fashion pattern I have found that the modern mothers I know like the pure wool & use these hand knitted singlets over the grow suits so as the wool wont aggrivate the baby's sensitive skin. I do them in white or pastel colours even strips & have had 1 mother ask me to do long sleeved ones for her 1 year old as she found they do not bulk up the child with thick clothes. PLEASE SOME ONE MUST HAVE THE PATTERN HIDING AWAY SOME WHERE.

Hi Jennifer, I have the Shepherd pattern which gives a choice of 3 different styles of baby vest. You are welcome to it if it helps. Just email me and I'll send it to you.
Regards, Jeanz

Jen .
don't know where you live but perhaps the ladies of your local W.I could help you. this is often one of the many projects we do for the maternity ward at the local hospitals. if you don;t know contact the local C.A.B. or the library and they may be able to help if not contact me by e mail and i will try to find my pattern or tell you where the nearest W.I. is to you.
