This outfit is made with both circular and flat knitting techniques, worked from the peplum up. The peplum is constructed of four large leaves, worked separately in garter stitch rows. After all four leaves have been completed, they are joined together in the round. The body of this outfit is made in a slip-stitch pattern and trimmed with picot edging around the armholes and neckline. A knitted flower completes the flower fairy look.
