Knitting For Olive | Christmas Morning Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
Create a truly special holiday outfit with the Christmas Morning Dress, a sweet and spirited design from Knitting for Olive’s 2025 Christmas collection. This cheerful dress is sprinkled with tiny gift motifs around the hem, each finished with a delicate i-cord bow, a charming detail that brings festive fun to every twirl.
The dress is worked from the top down, featuring a classic round yoke that allows the shaping to flow smoothly into the gentle flare of the skirt. Using one strand of Merino paired with one strand of Soft Silk Mohair, the fabric becomes beautifully soft, warm, and lightly airy, perfect for celebrations, cosy gatherings, and picture-perfect holiday moments.
Our Christmas Morning Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack includes your choice of 3 x Merino (MC) and 3 x Soft Silk Mohair (MC), CC1 and CC2 yarns in pre-selected colourways, and a digital pattern. This size is suitable for children aged 1-2 years old. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.

Afterwards, you continue in the round. The neck opening and body are shaped with German short rows. The body is finished with a folded edge while the sleeves are finished with an i-cord edge. The presents are charted only and worked using the Fair Isle technique and finished with i-cord ties as a separate step.
