Neck Edge:

dc all around the neck edge. Fasten off

To finish:

Weave in ends

Add 2 or 3 pretty buttons

Decorate with lace, flowers, motifs, ribbons or bows

This simple baby dress is so easy – once you have made one you can use it as a base to try out a few variations.

For example ~

Why not make this little dress in stripes?

Or try adding a shell border…….

For a more lacy effect – work the top as above – then use a cluster stitch for the skirt ….. this looks really great !
