About the Knitting Pattern

The Lacy Snowflake Dresses are designed to fit children from birth to 7 years old. Knitted in double knitting (DK) wool, the pattern includes both a short‑sleeved version and a sleeveless style, making it ideal for year‑round wear and easy layering. The skirt features a delicate lacy snowflake design, while moss stitch edgings frame the bodice and hem for gentle structure. A button‑band fastening at the back ensures easy dressing and a comfortable fit. The pattern is written in English and supplied as a digital download PDF.

Design Details

The front and back are knitted separately and sewn together. The moss stitch neckband is added by picking up stitches, and stitches are also picked up to create the button band at the back. You can choose between short sleeves—knitted separately and sewn on—or a sleeveless finish with moss stitch armhole edgings.
