PDF Knitting Pattern 74 – Bunny Dress Set

Manually emailed instructions to knit a baby or reborn doll’s dress set with intarsia charts for flowers, a rabbit and a carrot.  There is a matching bonnet and Mary Jane-style shoes.  I have knitted the outfit shown in Sirdar Snuggly DK. When knitted this set will fit a 21-22 inch reborn, 19-20 inch reborn, 17-18 inch reborn or a 15-16″ reborn, or babies 3lb through to 3 months.  Alternatively, the dress set looks just as nice with the scalloped edging and row of flowers without the bunny motifs.  If you want to opt for the plainer version, just replace the motif rows with a single-colour stocking stitch.

To knit this adorable baby dress, you will need to be able to knit, purl, read a chart, knit 2 stitches together, yarn forward, purl 2 stitches together.  There are also some special abbreviations where the instructions are written out in full.
