This dress design combines knitting, sewing, and embroidery for a unique combination of textures, colors, and techniques. Embroidered chain-stitches are worked on a gathered fabric skirt and then used to pick-up stitches for a knitted bodice. The result is a textured, knitted bodice joined to a colorful printed fabric skirt.

Bodice is knit flat in one piece up to the armholes, and then separated for front and back yokes. Sleeves are knit directly into armholes to a three-quarter length. Easy garter stitch neckband edging matches sleeve edging.

Sewing skills include gathering, straight seams, and hemming.

Matching doll dress pattern is available called “Isabel Doll Dress.”
