*****As always, this is my pattern. I designed it as I crocheted. If there is a matching pattern out there, I've not seen it. I swear. Feel free to use this pattern to make all the lovely pinafore's that you'd like. But please don't claim this pattern as your own. Give credit where credit is due. Thanks. A link back here would be nice.*******
A Couple of questions before I start, is this DK weight yarn or regular worsted weight? and what size baby does this fit? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's regular worsted weight yarn. I am going to try it out in a baby or sport weight yarn next. This dress, with the worsted weight yarn and the I hook will fit a 3 to 6 month baby, depending on the size of the baby. It may fit longer as well.
ReplyDeleteI bought Bernat Baby Soft which is a baby sport weight today, so we'll see how the sizing goes. Are you working from the yoke downward?
ReplyDeleteyes. i am. i start at the yoke then go down. i look forward to hearing how this is going.
