This cute little dress is quick and easy to knit. It’s worked flat from the bottom up and has 2 buttons in the back.

Fits American Girl WellieWishers, Glitter Girls, Hearts for Hearts and Les Cherie’s dolls.

Martha and I worked together to get this pattern published. We found that the gauge can vary and the dress still looks darling and fits well. The two gauges we got were: 6 sts = 1 inch and 6.5 sts = 1 inch.

Since it requires only about one ounce of DK weight #3 yarn, it can be a stash buster too.

The openwork on the hem of the dress pictured on the left in the photos was done as follows:

Knit 2 rows. Next row: (K2together, yarn over) across the row. Knit 2 rows.
