Knitted using double knitting wool
Pattern is written in English

The dresses are worked in double knitting (DK) yarn and feature moss stitch edgings and a pretty bobble flower panel around the skirt. Designed for sizes 0–7 years, you can opt for a short sleeved or sleeveless version and each dress includes a button back opening for easy dressing.

Design: The front and back are knitted separately and sewn together. The moss stitch neckband is added by picking up stitches. Stitches are picked up for the button band at the back. You then have the option of either short sleeves which are knitted separately and sewn onto the dress or picking up stitches for a moss stitch armhole edge band.

Sizes: The pattern gives instructions for 6 different sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years and 4-5 years old. To fit chest: 41, 46, 51, 56, 61 and 66cms or 16, 18, 20, 22,24 and 26 inches.

Yarn: The pattern uses double knitting wool (an alternative for overseas knitters would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply).
