Knitting Pattern 41 - Micro Preemie Dress

Instructions to knit a reborn doll or very premature baby lacy dress, bonnet and bootees.  This set can be made from our micro preemie dress knitting pattern in either 4ply or DK yarn depending on which size you want to make.  When knitted it will fit either a 10-14 inch height reborn collectable doll or approx 0lb – 2.5lb baby.  We think this outfit would suit a reborn doll better than a premature baby as a doll would be easier to dress.
