Introducing our charming puffed sleeve dress knitting pattern, designed with a gathered skirt for an adorable and timeless look. This pattern is knit in two pieces to provide added stability and create a stylish seam. The bodice is expertly crafted first, working from the top down for an easy and enjoyable knitting experience. Once the bodice is complete, the live stitches are put on hold while the skirt is worked in the bottom-up direction, allowing for seamless construction. The two pieces are then effortlessly joined using a 3-needle bind off technique, resulting in a beautifully finished garment without any visible seams!

This pattern offers four skirt options: a Full Skirt or a Narrower Skirt, each available in either dress or tunic lengths. This versatility allows you to customize the look to suit any occasion or personal style. The sample featured is the delightful full skirt dress in our size 2 years, which is perfect for little ones to wear for special events or casual playdates.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this easy-to-follow knitting pattern will help you create a masterpiece that your child will love to wear. Dive into your next project and add this irresistible puffed sleeve dress to your knitting repertoire today! Perfect for gift-giving or creating a cherished heirloom, this pattern will surely inspire you to get creative.
