Gathered Lace Dress Knitting Pattern 022

Description

Gathered lace dress knitting pattern.

Manually emailed PDF instructions to knit a reborn or baby dress set in DK yarn. This is a single-sized pattern knitted solely in double knitting yarn.  This set comprises a dress, headband and booties.  It is knitted in a simple two-colour slip-stitch pattern, creating a lovely effect.  When completed, this set will fit a newborn baby approximately 6-10lb or an 18-20 inch reborn doll. We have embellished ours with gathered lace securely sewn around the neckline and the hem (this is optional). We have also mixed and matched satin ribbon flowers on both the headband and booties which too are optional.

To knit this gathered lace dress set, you will need 200g of main colour double knitting yarn, 100g of contrast colour DK yarn and 4 buttons.  You will also need 1 pair of 3.25mm needles and 4mm needles. Additionally, you will need 3 stitch holders and 2 metres of 6mm satin ribbon for the bootees to complete this set.  For embellishments, you will need 4 metres of 1-inch gathered lace and 18 small satin flowers. Alternatively, you can add any embellishments of your choice. 

Whilst we have used bold and dark colours for our gathered lace dress knitting pattern photo, this set will look just as pretty in pastel colours.  Angela, who very kindly tested the pattern for us, used pink and white for her set.  To get an idea of what the set looks like in pastel colours, you can find her photo in our gallery attached to this listing.
