Grandchild number 4 - and of course Astrid must have her very own Christmas dress.
And while waiting for the hair to grow…also a hair-band with a big bow.
Astrid’s Christmas dress is knitted top-down in 2 different yarn qualities - first stockinette stitch with single yarn, and then the skirt worked in half Fisherman’s rib, where Silk-mohair has been added.
