This dress borrows the nickname I gave to my baby girl. Her sweet little dress is knitted in the round, from the hem to the yoke.
The rose section of colorwork is easy enough for a beginner to stranded knitting. The hem and yoke are worked using simple slipped stitches.

This cute dress is knit in a fingering weight yarn, have fun with color choices for your own darling bundle!
