Lilibet Dress – Knitting Pattern – PDF

A dress of refined elegance: delicate smock stitch, a silhouette that flows, and the kind of craftsmanship that makes every little girl feel special.

Lilibet dress is worked seamlessly from the top down, in the round. The yoke is adorned with the smock stitch — a three-dimensional raised diamond pattern that gives the dress its signature look. The body flows into an A-line shape, light and graceful.

The pattern comes in 8 sizes, from 3–4 to 12–14 years.
