The dress is knit throughout in stocking stitch with garter stitch for the hem and collar. There’s a short back opening for easy fit, and only two side seams and two short shoulder seams to sew up. I tried making it in one piece to the armholes but it was too fiddly to write up because of the motif.

The snowflake is the simplest one I could design and is really easy even if you’re not keen on fair Isle. Or you could stitch the motif on later using duplicate stitch.

I used King Cole cuddles dk for the hem and collar, but any fluffy type dk or even eyelash yarn, would work.
