Notes

I originally used this yarn to make a baby tunic that I ended up frogging because I wasn’t pleased with how it turned out. Of course, I had made several adjustments so maybe it would have been better if I had made the original pattern.
Anyway, I decided I wanted more of a dress so I cast on a ton of stitches to make a ruffle then made a fairly full skirt before working a moss stitch bodice.
After I finished the dress, I figured I had enough yarn left to make a matching bolero. I had a few false starts as I figured out the shaping but eventually I decided up on a ruffled bottom with short rows to widen it from the bottom up as I transitioned the ruffle to a vertical button band. I am not sure how much I like the way the neckline of the sweater turned out but overall, I am pleased with the set, I think.
