The Whispering Waves Pinafore Dress is a gentle, flowing design for little ones aged 6 months to 2 years, knitted in soft double knitting (DK) wool for comfort and beautiful stitch definition. The bodice features garter stitch borders and a practical four‑button strap opening, making dressing easy. The skirt opens has a wavy hemline, echoing the soft, repeating wave pattern that ripples throughout the design. The movement of the stitches creates a light, airy texture that feels playful yet timeless — perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
This is a sweet, versatile pinafore that layers beautifully over a vest or blouse, with a rhythmic stitch pattern that is enjoyable to knit and lovely to gift.
Design: The front and back are knitted separately on straight needles and the sides sewn together. Four buttons are stitched on to the front.
Sizes: The pattern includes 4 sizes to fit a child: 6m, 12m, 18m and 24 months old. Yarn: Uses double-knitting wool. An alternative would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply for international knitters.
The picture shows the outfit knitted using Rico Baby Classic DK in shades Ice Blue (023) and White (001).
Skill: Intermediate. Written instructions.
Tension: 22 sts and 30 rows to 10 cm (stocking stitch) on 4 mm needles or size needed to achieve stated tension.
Needles: Size 3.25mm and 4mm (USA sizes 3 and 6) needles are required.
