A sweet little ruffle sleeved dress.

Update : This pattern is now available on Ravelry. Link above and on the right.

I saw this dress on Instagram posted by @hainchan. I loved it on her sweet crochet bunny. I found the pattern, called the “Rabi dress” by Shino Crafts (@shino.crafts on Instagram) in her Etsy shop:

The pattern is beautifully written with excellent photos to assist you along the way.

I did make a few mods to make the dress longer for my bunny and more full so I could knit it in the round rather than flat. I knit three garter stitch rows for the hem. i followed the textured pattern on the skirt but knit two plain rows between the “purl and knit rows”. I had cast on 90 stitches and reduced to 38 in Rows 24 and 25 as follows:
Row 24: Purl 2tog across (45 stitches)
Row 25: K9, K2tog, K4, (K2tog K1)5 times, K3, K2tog, K10 (38 stitches)
Continue in pattern.

I will definitely make more of these sweet smocks.
