Bloom

Miss T loves her new dress. The pattern is called Bloom.

I knit this with 4.5 balls of Louisa Harding Kashmir DK.

I think I bought the yarn on sale when Miss T was just born.

Talk about hoarding yarn!

The pattern is very well written and different sizes are achieved by using different yarn qualities.

I knit the version in DK yarn and it should be size 6 months to around 4 years.

As Miss T is already 4, I knit the yoke a few rows longer and I added one more pattern repeat to the skirt.

The photos were taken last week, it was a lot warmer than now.

The yarn is lovely and soft. For once we were lucky and found a perfect ribbon at our local yarn store.

The pattern includes a bonus pattern to knit the same dress for a doll. As I still have around 1.5 balls of yarn left, I think of knitting one as a Christmas present.

Miss T loves pulling funny poses.
