Dress for baby


I will try to do some catching up here. I've been gone on several trips (baby shower in LA, Puyallup Sewing Expo, visit to kids/grandkids in Jackson Hole) but I have been busy sewing since I got home. While I was on the trips all I managed to do was to knit this adorable little dress for the soon to arrive baby girl. It went together very quickly and was knit almost entirely while we drove to Jackson. The top part is faux cables so I didn't have to fiddle with extra needles which made that section pretty easy. I just had to remember my decreases for the shaping.

It is supposed to be sized for 3 - 6 months but it looks bigger than that to me. The nice thing about it is that it can be worn as a dress first and later as a tunic or top.

My goodness! What an adorable mini garment! Soft and comfy too I bet, and what could be more perfect for a mini person?

Ann, Baby's knit dress is very cute. The color is great and style so perfect for dress/jumper/top. Both you and Rachael look fantastic...very happy with anticipation!
