Knitting For Olive | Vanilla Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
Knit a Chic Baby Dress
The Vanilla Dress is an eye-catching design with graceful all-over lacework—and surprisingly, it’s an approachable knit. Seamlessly worked from the top down, this dress flows from a delicate eyelet yoke to a beautifully textured wavy lace skirt.
Beginning with a provisional cast-on and finished I-cord neckline, the Vanilla Dress opens at the back with a small placket, secured with a crochet loop and button. The yoke and sleeves are shaped in the round in an elegant eyelet rib, with the skirt’s lace detail unfolding below. Sleeves are completed from held stitches and finished with I-cord edging for a tidy look. The hem features a double-stitch bind-off for a smooth finish, with a helpful tutorial link included in the pattern.
Designed for comfort and movement, the dress includes ¾-length sleeves and a relaxed fit, perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
Please note: all lace patterns are presented in charted format only.
