A little dress for my niece, Ava. Something wonderfully girly, a
piece that will move and sway as she twirls and spins like a fairy.
The moment I found this pattern, I knew it would be perfect for the summer dress I wanted to knit for her. The bamboo yarn is soft, silky and delicious. The color - a fabulous combination of lemon and lime. It's going to look stunning against her olive skin (Ziggy's skins is fair and pale in comparison to Ava's, but he did a great job modelling it for me - thankyou little man!!)
No modifications other than knitting it in the round. It's a great pattern, thanks Sanne.
I saw the pattern for this on etsy and thought it was beautiful. It looks lovely and drapey ( is that a word) in bamboo.
