Knit our Snowflake Pattern Dress suitable to fit a child from birth to 7 years old.

Design:
The dresses have a lacy snowflake pattern and moss stitch borders. The front and back are knitted separately and sewn together. The moss stitch neckband is added by picking up stitches. Stitches are picked up for the button band at the back. You then have the option of either short sleeves which are knitted separately and sewn onto the dress or picking up stitches for a moss stitch armhole edge band.

The pattern includes 6 sizes to fit child: 0-6 mths, 6-12 mths, 1-2 yrs, 2-3 yrs, 4-5 yrs and 6-7 years old
