Dotiau Minikins
Girl’s top down stripes and bobbles dress

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN
This adorable dress is worked top down with a seamless circular yoke, short sleeves and fun contrasting bobble covered skirt. Instructions are written for a striped bodice which allows you to play with many fun yarn options including gradients and variegated yarns. All edges are finished with a double rib, this compliments the matching waistband and gives the garment a lovely shape. Increases are worked into the skirt for a pretty A-line shape.
