This is a super fun sundress that is great for layering or wearing on its own. On the smaller sizes there is instruction for a button closure between the legs so that crawlers can still move about freely.

The A-line shape, and low neckline of this dress allow for longevity of use, as this can easily become a cute top for a toddler once she grows out of it as a dress.

The pattern is written flat, and seamed to provide structure to the garment, however you are welcome to modify it to work seamlessly by simply casting on for both pieces at once and joining to work in the round.

Errata
Pg 2, 1st column: instructions in bold have been added for clarification.

Row 1 (RS): pattern to marker, sm, k22, yo, ssk, k22, sm, pattern to end

Repeat these two rounds 10 more times while continuing to work your decrease row every 4th row as established.
