For Dia

Pattern: Amelie Dress from Natural Knits for Moms & Babies

Yarn: Rowan RYC Cashcotton DK

This dress is for a dear friend's second baby girl. I made the 6 month size. Although, I think she'll need to wear it with a turtle neck and stockings with it by the time she's 6 months old since it'll be cold where she lives at that time.


I thought the pattern was a pretty easy knit, although the directions around the neck line were a little confusing. I also only put on 3 little flowers instead of the 16 the pattern called for. I'm a less is more kind of girl. I would make this pattern again. It's a super cute one and I can't wait to see Dia in it!

Gorgeous! I agree with you on the flowers -- three is perfect. I love the "Handmade by Meg" tags!
