Adalie
Introducing the Adalie summer dress pattern for girls—a charming knitting project perfect for those warm, sunny days. This delightful dress features a beautifully designed lace skirt adorned with a gently scalloped hem and pretty eyelet details, making it an ideal choice for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, or family gatherings. The pattern is expertly crafted to be worked seamlessly from the bottom up, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. The bodice is knitted in soft stockinette stitch, adding a classic touch of elegance.
The Adalie dress showcases intricate eyelet trim on both the sleeves and neckline, elevating its overall appeal. This versatile pattern is available in a wide range of sizes: 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 3-4 years, 4-5 years, and 6-7 years. These sizes are designed to fit chests measuring 46 cm to 64 cm (or 18 inches to 25 inches), making it suitable for various young girls. The total length from shoulder to hem ranges from 44 cm to 60 cm (or 17 ¼ inches to 23 ½ inches), ensuring a perfect fit for little ones as they grow.
When it comes to materials, you will need 100% cotton yarn in fingering weight. We recommend using Rowan Summerlite 4 Ply, with varying requirements of 4 to 7 balls (50g each) depending on the size chosen. Each 50g ball of yarn has a length of 175 meters (or approximately 192 yards) in the gorgeous Coral Blush shade. For this project, you will need circular knitting needles and DPNs in size 3 mm (US 2.5), specifically in two lengths: 40 cm (16 inches) and 80 cm (32 inches). This will facilitate a smooth knitting process while ensuring optimal results.
To achieve the perfect gauge, aim for 28 stitches and 36 rows to measure 10 cm (or 4 inches) in stockinette stitch. With the Adalie dress pattern, you'll not only create a beautiful garment but also have a wonderful addition to your knitting repertoire that can be cherished for years to come. Get started on this lovely pattern today and watch your little one shine in her new summer dress!
