Notes

This dress was knit with a long tail cast on of 100 stitches and 5 repeats of the chart shown. The hearts were done in duplicate stitch.

I followed my usual modifications for a full skirt found here and hem found here waist decreases were made in rows 28 and 29 of the chart.

The little sheep heads were spaced too far apart and three colors of yarn had to be carried on those rows, so the floats and tension were a challenge. I might resort to doing the heads in duplicate stitch or modifying the chart next time.

The bunny was knit on 2.75mm needles using Filatura di Crosa Zara in Latte 1773.

Improved version The last seven pictures to the left show a new version of the color work chart. The dress begins with a long tail cast on of 96 stitches and uses 6 repeats of the chart. It adds one more set of sheep and reduces the length of fiddly floats on the 3 rows where the heads require carrying three colors of yarn.
