Pinafore Dress Knitting Pattern (no 135)

Create a Charming Pinafore Dress for Babies and Toddlers Aged 6 Months to 3 Years

Pattern Design Our delightful Pinafore Dress features a whimsical flower pattern embellished with elegant moss stitch edgings. This adorable dress is designed to be knitted in two sections: the front and back are crafted separately and then sewn together at the sides. For added detail, two charming buttons are stitched onto the front straps, making it a perfect blend of style and practicality for your little one.

Available Sizes This knitting pattern accommodates five sizes to fit your growing child: 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, and 3 years old. You'll find a perfect fit for every child, ensuring they look cute and feel comfortable at every age milestone.

Yarn Information To bring this lovely Pinafore Dress to life, the pattern uses 4 ply wool. For our international knitters, alternative yarn options are available, such as USA Sport or Australian 5 ply. As displayed in the accompanying image, the dress for size 2 years old is beautifully knitted with Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply yarn in the enchanting shades of Lilac (0219) and White (0251).

Tension Specifications Achieve the ideal fit by following our tension guide, which specifies 28 stitches and 36 rows to measure 4 inches/10 cm in stocking stitch using 3.25 mm needles or the size needed to achieve the stated tension. Consistent tension is crucial for ensuring that your finished Pinafore Dress has the perfect shape and drape.

Required Needles This project requires straight needles in sizes 2.75 mm and 3.25 mm (equivalent to USA sizes 2 and 3). Make sure to have these needles on hand to bring your knitting project to fruition.

Additional Materials Don't forget to gather 2 buttons to complete the dress and make it easy to dress your little one. The button placement contributes to the overall charming look of the Pinafore Dress.
