Create your very own little hand-knit dresses! This pattern includes instructions for three seamless, top down dresses: A basic dress, a feather and fan lace dress, and a horseshoe lace dress. They are designed to fit my stuffed animal patterns, but would look great on other dolls of similar size as well. Each dress measures 3 in/8 cm in length and is made with worsted weight yarn.

Note: The pattern for the dresses only, the patterns for the stuffed animals they are modeled on are NOT included.
