Knit our Dresses, Bonnet and Bootees suitable to fit a doll or baby.

Design
All three dresses have a bobble flower pattern to the skirt and moss stitch borders.
For the Short Sleeved and Sleeveless Dresses, the front, back and sleeves are knitted separately on straight needles and sewn together. Stitches are picked up to complete the neckline and for the opening at the back. For the Sleeveless Dress, stitches are picked up to finish off the armhole edges.
For the Round Yoke Dress, the front, sides and sleeves are knitted separately up to the Yoke and then slipped onto the same needle to complete as one garment from the yoke up to the neckline. Stitches are picked up for the back borders.
A bonnet and bootees are also included.
