Another of my own designs. This listing is for a PDF Knitting pattern.
Description of garments:
. This pattern includes 2 really fun dresses. I called it Fun Dresses because the pattern stitch on the skirt looks
really cute both on the right as well as the wrong side, so I have decided to create 2 dresses using both sides.
. Both dresses are knit flat from hem upwards with back closure.
. To add an extra touch to the pattern I have added panties and a hair tie.
