This adorable outfit features a striking sailor collar and a graceful pleated skirt, creating a timeless look for your little one.

For this pattern, we recommend using sports weight yarn (we chose Debbie Bliss Eco Baby) for the best results.

**Yarn Requirements:** To create the Sailor Girl dress in sizes 3T(4T/5T), you will need approximately 3.3(3.7/4) skeins of Debbie Bliss Eco Baby in the beautiful color 'Pebble,' which amounts to about 400(460/500) meters of yarn. Additionally, you will require 0.3(0.5/0.7) skeins of Fonty Coton Nat in the earthy color 'Terre,' totaling around 40(60/90) meters.

**Finished Measurements:** The completed dress offers a chest measurement of 50(55/60) cm. The fabric is designed to stretch comfortably to fit your child's body, ensuring a snug yet flexible wear.

**Gauge:** To achieve the perfect fit, maintain a gauge of 22 stitches by 24 rows, which equals 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch. This attention to detail will help ensure that your project turns out beautifully.

**Needle Size:** For this lovely pattern, use a 3.5mm circular needle to create the body of the dress, allowing for smooth knitting and consistent tension.

**Notions Needed:** To aid in your knitting journey, don't forget to use stitch markers and a tapestry needle for seamless finishing touches. These tools are essential for keeping your project organized and manageable.
