Escama - scale motif baby sundress
Introducing the Escama summer dress, a beautifully unique and stylish knitting pattern that combines several intricate lace designs into one stunning piece. The dress features a charming scallop pattern gracing the bottom hem, perfectly paired with a scale pattern on the body that mimics natural twists and undulating waves across the fabric. Adding to its visual appeal, the lattice back resembles a net, creating a striking contrast with the simple stockinette front.
The construction of this delightful dress begins in the round, adding a seamless flow to the initial stage. After reaching the bodice, the project is split and worked flat. The chic shoulder straps are crafted using an i-cord technique, allowing for adjustable length that ensures the baby won’t outgrow this gorgeous dress too quickly. This thoughtful design feature means the Escama dress can be kept in your rotation for months longer than traditional styles, providing lasting wearability.
This versatile dress can be worn alone during those warm summer days or paired with a onesie or any lightweight shirt for a cozy, layered outfit suitable for cooler evenings. Perfect for playdates, family gatherings, or simply lounging at home, the Escama summer dress is an essential addition to any baby’s wardrobe.
As shown, this pattern is available in a convenient 0-3 months size, making it an ideal gift for new parents or an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. Each section of the pattern includes clear written instructions as well as detailed charts, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. Dive into the art of lace knitting and create a charming piece that will be cherished for years to come!
