From Knitting for Baby:  This darling dress combines a quick-to-make knitted bodice with a simple sewn skirt.  The neckline, armhole, and lower edge of the bodice are embellished with small bobbles, or decorative balls....  The main part of the bodice features seed stitch and a subtle diamond border.
