This very pretty pattern is for either a dress or a tunic, with a delightful trimmed bodice and a lovely flower motif. If made as a tunic, it would look very cute worn over leggings with a matching long sleeved t-shirt underneath.

There are instructions for three sizes to fit toddlers of approximately:

12-18 months/18-24 months/3 years old

The dress in the photos was made with Debbie Bliss Fashion Fantasy DK yarn, which is a cotton yarn. However, it could be made with any DK yarn. I give details of the length of yarn used in the pattern to help ensure you buy the correct amount.

The gauge given is for a simple 4 in/10 cm square of htr (uk) or hdc (us).

There are detailed instructions of how to make the dress, with some photographs and tips.

The pattern includes both UK and US terms. The UK terms come first and then the whole pattern is repeated with US terms, so please be aware if you print off the pattern that you should only print the pages you want so as not to waste your paper and ink.

Please feel free to take the items you’ve created from my pattern and use them at your leisure, but please do not sell, edit, or redistribute this pattern in any way, or claim this original work as your own. April Lesley retains all rights to the content here within.
