Yarn Requirements: For the patchwork version, you will need approximately (80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200 grams) of mixed fingering weight yarns. I used Opal 4ply sock yarn and Koigu KPPM for a delightful patchwork effect. The main color (MC) will require 25 grams of a plain fingering yarn, such as Opal solids or Koigu KPM, while the contrast color (CC) requires 10 grams of smooth black fingering yarn. For the plain version, you will need (80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200 grams) of fingering weight yarn in a single color. You can also opt for 25 grams of contrast color for a stylish lace hem if desired.
Needles, Notions, and Accessories: You will need a 2.75 mm circular needle, a set of 2.75 mm straight needles, 4 small buttons, and 5 stitch holders to complete your project.
Gauge: The pattern’s gauge is 28 stitches x 36 rows = 10 cm using 2.75 mm needles over stockinette stitch (stst).
Before starting your project, please take a moment to thoroughly read through the entire pattern. This pinafore dress is perfect for young children, making it a wonderful gift or a charming addition to their wardrobe. Happy knitting!
