Not only do I love the design, but the model is just too darn cute! This is a classic, warm, layerable (is that a word?) winter dress for little girls.
The dress instructions call for DK yarn with sock yarn edgings (doesn't take much, so it's a great use of leftover sock yarn!). The edgings can be knit or crocheted - your preference. Instructions are included for both techniques, with the resulting edging being the same. The cord can also be knit or crocheted. Hooray for versatility!
Cast on at the hem edge and work skirt in one piece to the underarms, then the fronts and back are completed separately. Sleeves are worked in the round, then set in to the armholes. Instructions are completely written for sizes 12 months - 6 years; schematics are included, as are charts for the pattern stitches.
Sorry, pink boots aren't included : (
