Yarn Substitutes: Debbie Bliss cotton cashmere or Rowan Wool Cotton would be suitable, but you could use any soft wool or cotton with which you can make the gauge measurements.

Blossom is a simple wrap-around dress with embroidery for a baby girl. It’s suitable for all seasons, depending on the type of yarn you choose. I made this dress in a locally-made silk blend just as all the spring blossoms were opening from their buds here in New Zealand; a pure-wool yarn would be cosy for winter babies though, with a warm bodysuit and tights, and I’m planning on making a cotton version for the summer. The dress is knitted all in one piece, reducing potential bulkiness over tiny baby shoulders, and the garter stitch edges create a nice, almost elasticated finish without having to pick up and knit any stitches afterwards! Due to my limited embroidery skills, I’ve embellished mine with lazy-daisy stitch, but you can let your imagination run riot!
