Christmas Morning Dress is part of our 2025 Christmas collection. The dress is a fun and playful Christmas dress featuring little presents with i-cord bows around the bottom of the skirt. It is worked from the top down with a round yoke and using 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair.

You start with the i-cord neckband and ties before continuing with the yoke while at first working back and forth to create the keyhole opening in the back. Afterwards, you continue in the round. The neck opening and body are shaped with German short rows. The body is finished with a folded edge while the sleeves are finished with an i-cord edge. The presents are charted only and worked using the Fair Isle technique and finished with i-cord ties as a separate step.
