Starting Out Knitted Baby Dress

So many of you liked my little crochet dress ~ and asked for a knitted version.
 
Well ...... I wouldn't want to disappoint!


Starting Out - Knitted Baby Dress 6 - 9 months
 
 I called this design 'Starting Out' because I thought that a simple basic pattern could be a place to start ..... and easily adapted in a variety of ways. 
 

Starting Out - Knitted Baby Dress  3 months
 
 
Why not add a picot edging?
 
Or a fancy or lacy stitch for the 'skirt' part of the dress?
 
Maybe a ribbon tie?
 
Over to you ............... 
 
Two sizes available ~                     0 - 3 months    &      6 - 9 months
 
 





You can now buy this sweet pattern in my ravelry store
 
 
 
 
You will find a crochet version at ~

  1. It's lovely Marianna and it's a lovely name for the dress too, I thought starting out because it's for a new baby so it has a double meaning really. :) xx

  2. That reminds me of the first time we put our daughter in a dress. It was a big moment as we were tired of the babygrow all-in-one outfits.

  4. Thank you so much for posting this design, it's beautiful! I think you may have already answered thisfor somebody else, but I just wanted to be sure: is it ok if I use this dress pattern as a starting point to create items to sell? I have lots of ideas for patterning on skirts but have been struggling to find a reliable basic pattern for the bodice, and I don't have a baby to try things on! And I didn't want to steal part of someone else's patterns.

    Thank you again for posting all your patterns for free! I made the top down baby jacket for a friend and she adored it :) xxx

    1. If you use a 3 or 2ply yarn it will come smaller.

  13. Hi there, I love this pattern so much I just finished one for my miracle baby. Is there a way to increase the size from 9-12 and 12-18months? I'd be extremely grateful. Your work incredible and by far the nicest dress I've knitted.

    Many thanks

  16. Has anyone found errata in the 3 month size? I come up with only 8 stitches at the end of Row 1, not 9, even though I cast on 68 and I double checked all the stitches in the right place. and it's throwning off the kfbs when I go back. TIA
