Princess Popcorn Pinafore for Toddler
Knit up this gorgeous toddler pinafore pattern that’s perfect for a little one you adore! This easy-to-follow, fun-to-knit dress is sure to bring a smile to your face and joy to the child who wears it. Crafted from soft DK merino wool, this adorable dress is comfortable for any season, whether worn alone or layered with cozy sweaters or long-sleeve shirts.
This pattern is designed in one versatile size, similar to a 2T, but it comfortably fits toddlers from 12 months to 2 years old—thanks to its adjustable straps that can be modified at three different settings. For further customization, you can easily adapt the fit by adding more buttonholes, lengthening the straps, or extending the skirt length. The model showcased in the photos is 18 months old and is currently wearing it at the smallest strap buttonhole setting.
This fast and simple project is not just quick to complete; it also has the potential to become a cherished heirloom, perfect for passing down to other little ones in your family or friend circle. Imagine the lovely memories this cute pinafore will create!
Take note regarding the unique texture: The bodice of the dress features a distinctive look as I knit into the back of the stitch while knitting, but revert to traditional purling. This technique is entirely optional and the finished garment will look fantastic with standard stockinette stitches as well!
With this delightful pinafore pattern, you can enjoy a rewarding knitting experience while creating a beautiful piece that combines style and comfort for your favorite toddler. Start your knitting journey today and craft a piece that will be treasured for years to come!
