“The saddle of this little dress is entirely knitted, but the simple pattern, produces excellent smocking. Plain collar, link buttons at front opening and short puff sleeves trim the dress, whilst the matching coat is collarless and smocked at waist-line only.”

The dress uses 5oz and the coat 3oz. Pattern also calls for 9 small buttons.

The needles called for are “No.9 Shephard’s Knitting Pins”, which seems rather large if it were the standard Imperial needle sizes.
