LENA, kid's cotton dress
LENA Dress Pattern - This enchanting kid dress features a stylish striped pattern crafted from DK-weight cotton, specifically designed for my eldest granddaughter. The LENA Dress has a loose-fitting silhouette that provides comfort and ease of movement. It is intentionally designed to be quite long, allowing for adjustable lengths based on personal preference. The short raglan sleeves add a delightful touch, and the design includes a buttoned closure along the front left sleeve for added flair. The vibrant red and lilac stripes stop just under the waist, creating a charming low-waisted effect that adds a unique detail to the overall look of the dress.
The LENA Dress can be expertly crafted using two different methods: in the round on circular needles or flat, knit back and forth. Both techniques are clearly explained in the accompanying pattern, making it accessible for all skill levels. This versatile design is particularly suited for bigger girls, making it a perfect addition to their wardrobe. The required skill level for this pattern ranges from 1 (beginner) to 5 (advanced), with this pattern set at a level 3, making it a suitable challenge for intermediate knitters eager to enhance their skills.
Throughout the LENA Dress Pattern, all measurements are provided in both centimeters and inches to ensure ease of understanding, regardless of your preferred unit of measurement. The original model of this exquisite dress has been expertly crafted using CABLÉ, a luxurious, 100% Egyptian cotton, DK-weight yarn, with a gauge of 50 g = 125 meters, sourced from Campolmi Roberto Filati in beautiful Florence, Italy.
With its stylish design and comfortable fit, the LENA Dress is not just a piece of clothing; it's a delightful project that will create lasting memories and beautiful finished garments for the little ones in your life. Perfect for warm days or as a stylish layering piece, this dress is truly a must-have for any young fashionista. Start knitting the LENA Dress today and give the gift of handmade elegance!
