Knitting For Olive | Flower Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Flower Dress is a charming, loose-fitting design that combines simplicity with playful details. Worked in smooth stockinette stitch and adorned with sweet flowers around the skirt, it’s the perfect piece to add a touch of whimsy to any child’s wardrobe. A small keyhole opening at the back closes neatly with a button, giving both comfort and a delicate finish.
The dress is crafted in Pure Silk, a fibre that drapes beautifully and feels soft against the skin. Both front and back are worked sideways in one continuous piece, with German short rows shaping the skirt for extra width and movement. Flower stems are knitted in as you go, while the crochet flower heads are added afterwards for a delightful textured detail. Sleeves are worked in the round from the top down, and garter stitch edges neatly finish the cuffs and neckline.
Keep in mind that the Flower Dress stretches and lengthens after washing, giving the finished garment a graceful drape and extra room to grow. This design is a joyful blend of comfort, playfulness, and handmade charm.
