Pattern: Amelie Dress from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms by Louisa Harding

Main Color: Pretty in Pink
Contrasting Color: Strawberry
Needles: US 4 and 5

As you can see, this dress is very similar in styling to the vest I just made from the same book.
Buttons
Vent
Flower Embellishment
The flower was extremely easy to make, not fiddly like some I've tried. It consists of only two rows of stitches: a cast on row and a bind off row. The sample dress in the book is embellished with several flowers, but I went with the theory of less is more.
The next baby gift will also be for a girl. I have a sweet little Debbie Bliss dress in mind, but I'm tempted to knit one of the stuffed animals (scroll down for picture) from Natural Knits instead.
You give the best baby gifts!
ReplyDeletePrecious dress Tracy! Love the little flower and the buttons are so perfectly sweet.
ReplyDeleteIs the hanger vintage? I have a really old one that looks very similar.
I have a love affair with all things knit for baby and all things pink. This pretty much has me overwhelmed with fuzzy Valentine's day feelings. Love it! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is too cute!! My neice has decided that pink is her favorite color, she has to eat out of the PINK bowl, wear the PINK shirt, and color with the PINK crayon... she would heartily approve of your color choices I'm sure ;-)
ReplyDeletei love it!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. Love your choice of colors and I agree that the one flower is just right.
