There are no two ways about it – little girls just look pretty in pink. It's lovely to see them in other colours too, of course, but pink just makes every baby girl look her very best. And this year, it is the height of fashion – even "grown up" girls are sporting this colour!
So here is a baby dress that will make your little one look cute as a button.
So here is a baby dress that will make your little one look cute as a button.
This is the Aelwen Baby Dress which features a patterned hem and a soft flowing skirt gathered into the top yoke. The yoke has large buttons at the back so is easy to put on and off even the most wriggly of juniors and is worked in Blackberry Lace – a beautiful airy lace stitch from our Reversible Knitting Stitches book.
The dress uses a soft, draping cotton yarn which feels cool and fresh so can be worn right next to the skin or over a light‐weight top. This is Knit Picks Shine Sport, which I also used in the Kimpton Scarf and Wrap.
I love this yarn, because it is soft and drapey with a lovely 60:40 blend of cotton and Beechwood rayon. It feels cool and silky to the touch – just perfect for these high summer temperatures we have right now.

The pattern is worked seamlessly so there is very little finishing to do after the knitting is complete and there are five different sizes, ranging from 3 months to 2 years of age.
Oh and in case you are wondering, "Aelwen" is a lovely Welsh girl's name and is pronounced "I'll ‐ when”. Make several in different colours and prepare for your little one to be coo’ed over!

Until then – Happy Baby Knitting!
