Ruffles, bobbles, lace - this dress has it all! A companion pattern to my adult Fiesta Top, Little Fiesta is just as charming and fun to knit. Simple top-down construction allows you to customize this pattern to be a top, tunic, or a dress. Options for omitting lace and bobbles, or adding long sleeves is also included. Perfect for long-gradient yarns, or any Fingering weight yarns, this dress can be made for any season.
