Polperro is a quaint little fishing village in England’s ultimate tourist destination: Cornwall. Conjuring images of beaches, sunshine and ice creams, Polperro makes us think of the endless summer days of childhood.

Why not start dreaming about summer now, by knitting a Polperro Pinny Dress? Sized from newborn to 4 years, it’s perfect for all the little ones in your life.

The quick knit Polperro Pinny Dress is such a versatile and comfy garment. Worn alone on a summer’s day or layered over long sleeves and leggings in cooler weather, this dress is perfect for all seasons. Parents will love the contemporary stripes and fussy babies will appreciate the buttoned neck. And really…is there anything more cute than a little one in a handknitted dress?

This may be the ultimate stash busting baby dress!
