AMÉLIE DRESS

Matching Christmas dresses for three little cousins celebrating the holidays together is the inspiration behind Amélie, but this cute dress also suits other occasions well. The dress features a timeless A-line shape that works beautifully for both babies and older children.

The dress is knitted top-down with a split at the back of the neck and cables in the raglan stitches, which meet in a new cable under the arms and continue down the sides. Note that there is a separate chart for the sides of the skirt, as the stitches cast on under the arms form a new cable.
