I made this dress for Lauri. It’s very simple and easy to make. To make it special, I put slightly ruffles sleeves and ruffles dress and also two pockets to put in some sweets. It’s a perfect dress to play.

I also include in the pattern tutorial to make picot bind off, to attach the pocket, and to make button loops using tapestry needle (if you don’t know how to crochet).

Pattern is available in both sport and DK weight yarn.
