A beautifully textured children’s dress in two styles
These easy‑to‑knit children’s dresses feature a softly textured diamond moss stitch skirt, with both short‑sleeved and sleeveless options included. Designed to fit from birth to 7 years, the pattern is perfect for layering through the seasons. A button opening at the back makes dressing little ones simple, while the DK yarn keeps the fabric soft, light, and comfortable.
The front and back are knitted separately and sewn together. The moss stitch neckband is picked up and knitted, and you can choose between separate short sleeves or a moss stitch armhole edging for the sleeveless version. Clear written instructions make this an enjoyable knit for confident beginners and intermediate knitters.
