Milse

Introducing the Milse Dress (pronounced mil-SHAY), inspired by the Gaelic word for "sweet things." This delightful little dress is perfect for your darling girl, combining comfort and style effortlessly.

The Milse dress is seamlessly knitted in the round from the top down, starting with a provisional cast-on (and don't worry, we've included a handy photo tutorial in the pattern to guide you through!). Tailor the look to your liking by choosing between long or short sleeves, along with the option for a playful "bubble" skirt, as shown, or a classic regular skirt. The versatility makes it the ideal project for every young girl’s wardrobe!

Milse is designed to be a go-to basic pattern, featuring 7 sizes ranging from 6 months to 10 years, allowing you to knit this charming dress time and time again. With its simple construction, it’s easy to knit and even easier for little ones to wear. Whether you prefer solid colors, vibrant stripes, or even an adorable intarsia motif, the opportunities to personalize this dress are endless, all beginning with this fantastic pattern.

This pattern is perfect for the advanced beginner who is comfortable working in the round, providing an excellent opportunity to enhance your knitting skills. Plus, the satisfaction of seeing your little one in this sweet ensemble will make all the effort worthwhile!
