Knit Our Adorable Picot Edged Dress: A Perfect Fit for Children Aged 6 Months to 3 Years

Design Details

This charming Picot Edged Dress features a delightful repeat pattern adorning the bottom of the skirt, complemented by a lovely picot edging. The design creates an elegant yet playful look that is perfect for any occasion. The front and back of the dress are knitted separately using sturdy straight needles and then sewn together for a polished finish. To add the final touches, stitches are picked up around the neckline and armhole edges, ensuring a neat and professional appearance.

Available Sizes

The pattern is thoughtfully crafted to accommodate three sizes, suitable for children: 6-12 months, 1-2 years, and 2-3 years old. This versatility allows you to create a beautiful garment that can grow with your little one or be treasured as a perfect gift for a baby's special milestone.

Yarn Specifications

This delightful dress is designed using soft and cozy double knitting wool. For international knitters, an equivalent yarn option would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply. The pattern showcases the 6-12 months size in the whimsical shade of Buttercup (526) from Sirdar Snuggly DK, making it an excellent choice for a cheerful and bright wardrobe addition.

Tension Guidelines

To achieve the best results, ensure you follow the tension guidelines: 22 stitches and 30 rows to measure 4 inches/10 cm in stocking stitch, using 4 mm needles (or the size needed to reach the stated tension). Proper tension is crucial for ensuring your finished dress fits perfectly.

Needle Requirements

You will need two sizes of straight needles—3.25 mm and 4.0 mm (equivalent to USA sizes 3 and 6)—to successfully knit this adorable dress.

Additional Supplies Needed

To complete this lovely Picot Edged Dress, you will also need 3 buttons to fasten, as well as stitch holders for easy organization of your pieces during the knitting process.
