As pretty as a summer rose, the Aelwen Baby Dress will make your little girl look cute as a button. The dress has been knit in a cotton/rayon yarn for a cool summer look and features a softly flowing skirt gathered into a beautiful lace yoke. It can also be worked in a soft merino wool for a little pinafore dress to wear over a T-shirt or top.


The pattern includes a range of sizes for babies aged 3-18 months and little girls aged 2 to 5 years. Make several in different colours and prepare for your little ones to be coo’ed over!
