YARN - The After Party 34 Playtime Dress

Made with Scheepjes Merino Soft, the cute and comfortable Playtime Dress, designed by Jane Burns allows adventurous kids to move freely while they play! This dress is perfect for kids who also like to safe-keep little trinkets in their pockets! Available in 5 sizes, this pattern can be knitted for children from 0 to 3 years old.

To knit this dress you will need (depending on size) 6 to 11 balls of Scheepjes Merino Soft in 3 colours. We recommend that you use 3.25mm and 4mm (circular) needles. In the example featured in our photos, we used Scheepjes Merino Soft 605 Hogarth, 602 Raphaël, and 628 Botticelli.
