Madison May

Introducing the enchanting Madison May pattern, a beautifully designed baby dress that features a rich lace yoke and a full ball gown princess skirt. This versatile piece is perfect for your growing child, transitioning from an elegant dress to a stylish tunic as they mature. With a thoughtfully designed wide head opening at the neck, dressing your little one will be a breeze.

The pattern showcases a top-down construction method, highlighting a delicate lace pattern on both the yoke and the skirt. You will find that both the yoke and hem patterns are provided in clear, easy-to-follow charted and written formats, making this project accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

For this beautiful project, we recommend using Anzula Nebula yarn, which is a soft and luxurious fingering or sock weight. To achieve the perfect gauge, use size 4 US (3.50 mm) needles or adjust accordingly to meet the specified gauge of 24 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches.

This charming pattern comes in a range of sizes to fit your little one as they grow: 0-3 months, 6-12 months, 18-24 months, and 2-3 years. The yardage required varies from 350 yards for the smallest size to 800 yards for the largest size, ensuring you have enough to create a truly stunning piece. The finished chest measurements for the dress are 14 inches (19 inches, 21 inches, 23 inches) respectively.

Don't forget to add two ½-inch buttons for a touch of whimsy and functionality to the design.
