A lovely little dress in stockinette stitch, knit from the top down with a bottom floral lace border and picot edge bindoff.

We recommend knitting this beauty in cotton to keep it light and breathable for your little one.May Flowers Dress. This pattern uses multiple yarn overs to create the larger circles in the center of the flowers. In the following row, the 1st yarn over is knitted while the 2nd is purled.

Pattern includes 3 sizes, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month. Sizes based on children’s clothing size, NOT age. For a sizing chart, please visit: http://www.windsweptknits.com/sizing-chart/

Also, we recommend NOT using a variegated yarn for the floral border. Below, you can see why. The floral border gets lost in the myriad of colors.

If you choose not to use the recommended kitchen cotton, you may want to adjust the straps. The kitchen cotton will keep the stockinette stitch straps flat, but a different yarn may not.
