Instructions for a girl’s dress set comprising of a short sleeve dress and headband. You will need to be able to both KNIT AND CROCHET to complete this pattern. The skirt area of the dress is crochet, as is the headband. The bodice area is knitted, along with the sleeves. As I class myself as a beginner crocheter, this pattern is easier to do than it looks. The crochet areas are purely trebles and chains, whilst the knitted areas are worked in stocking stitch, with a lace panel insert. However, you will need to be able to pick up knitted stitches to complete the whole set.

This pattern has been designed by myself so it is entirely in UK terminology. It does not follow the usual ‘shop bought’ format. There are 5 printed pages with clear and easy to follow row by row instructions. All my patterns are tested by independent knitters and crocheters before they are released, so every effort is made so that they come to you error free.

Although my patterns are strictly protected by copyright, which I ask you to respect, I am more than happy for any items made from my patterns to be sold.
