I’ve always had a soft spot for English Country Chic. I just love those green and blue colours and that style that looks casual, yet has a bit of class.

This dress design tries to capture the essence of English Country Charm.
Pleats and triangles combined with colour changing yarn in greens and blues to give a tweedy look.

Dress pattern features pleated skirt, sleeve cuffs and collar, as well as a button closure at back.

Perfect winter outfit for girls.
This is a flat knit design.
