Ruffles, bobbles, lace - this dress has it all! A companion pattern to my adult Fiesta Top, Little Fiesta is just as charming and fun to knit. Simple top-down construction allows you to customize this pattern to be a top, tunic, or a dress. Options for omitting lace and bobbles, or adding long sleeves is also included.
