This cosy little dress has a distinct Scandinavian look with a simple slipped stitch stripe and very easy cross stitch embroidery.  Paired with woolly tights it makes a lovely winter party frock.  The top is knitted from the bottom up, in the round dividing for the front and back after the colour work has been completed.  The shoulders have a neat three needle cast off and the sleeves are knitted flat with cross stitch embroidery added after seaming.  A simple gathered baby cord skirt is sewn to the bodice.

Skills required: casting on, casting off, three needle cast off, short rows, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, picking up stitches, cross stitch embroidery.  The skirt is machine sewn on.

The kit includes the pattern, Pima cotton yarn, fabric, co-ordinating buttons and sewing thread. Needles not included.
Machine washable on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees.
