Giselle
Introducing the Giselle Dress – a delightful and classic knitting pattern that combines elegance with a touch of fun. This versatile design is perfect for utilizing scrap yarn, allowing you to mix and match two colors from any color palette you can envision. Knit entirely in the round and seamlessly from the top down, the Giselle Dress will become a quick favorite that flies off your needles, making it an ideal project for knitters of all levels.
The smart design of the Giselle allows it to be worn as a charming dress for infants and toddlers, providing room for growth so that it can later transition into a stylish tunic as your child grows. The intricate lace details are thoughtfully presented in both charted and written formats, catering to your preferred knitting style and making this pattern approachable for everyone.
To create your beautiful Giselle Dress, we recommend using Madelinetosh Sock yarn in the stunning shades of Tern and Neon Pink.

As an optional tool, a 6 US (4.00 mm) needle may also be useful for your comfort while knitting.
