This darling little girl’s dress is written for sizes 24 months/2T through little girl’s size 5. (A baby pattern size newborn up to 18 months for this same dress is also listed on Ravelry here or for sale in my Etsy shop.

This is a no-sew pattern that is knit in the round so there are no seams to join! When writing my patterns, I try to make them simple to follow, explaining abbreviations and marking in stitch counts after increase or decrease rows so you know you are on the right track. I also welcome questions from customers if they come across something in the pattern they feel needs further explanation.

Skills needed are:

Provisional cast-on

Picking up stitches

Working in the round

Kitchener Stitch

Knit one front and back (K1fb)

(YouTube.com is a great resource for instructional knitting videos if you’re not familiar with any of these knitting techniques - none of them are difficult once you see how they are done.)
