This cute dress was designed for my sweet daughter who loves dresses & rainbows! This is a beginner/intermediate pattern, you will do basic lace and decreasing.
A quick little knit, done entirely in the round with an easy care mercerized cotton that has fun self-striping colors. The dress begins with a simple lace pattern, which creates a spiral around the skirt. The bodice is worked in a rib pattern for a snug fit.
A flirty ruffle, drawstring and fun buttons finish the look. Make one for your own little girly-girl!
