Sun Dress with Bobble Hem (48)

Welcome to Knitting Pattern No. 48 by Pizpaw Patterns: the adorable Sun Dress with Bobble Hem, designed specifically to fit your little ones aged 3-6 months and 6-12 months. This delightful pattern offers clear and easy-to-follow instructions for both sizes, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels, including beginners.

The Sun Dress is crafted using a straightforward knitting pattern, where the front and back pieces are knitted separately on straight needles. Once completed, they are sewn together at the sides, creating a snug and comfortable fit for your little girl. One of the standout features of this design is the charming bobble hem edging, which adds a touch of whimsy and is knitted separately before being stitched onto the dress.

This pattern utilizes high-quality double-knitting wool, but for international knitters, you can opt for alternatives like USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply yarn to achieve similar results. The recommended yarn for this project enhances both the texture and the overall aesthetic of the dress.

To get started, you'll need sizes 3.25 mm and 4 mm straight needles (equivalent to US sizes 3 and 6), as well as 4 buttons to complete your Sun Dress. The stunning example featured in the accompanying image is knitted with Wendy Supreme Cotton Silk DK in the beautiful shade 1507 (Spice). For the 3-6 month size, you’ll require 2 balls of yarn, while the 6-12 month size will need 3 balls of yarn.

Please note: This knitting pattern is written in British terminology, perfect for those familiar with traditional UK knitting terms. Whether you are making this lovely Sun Dress as a gift or for your own child, it is sure to become a cherished addition to any little one's wardrobe. Dive into this fun knitting project today and create a stylish, comfortable dress that’s as fun to knit as it is to wear!
