Bees in the Thistle Dress

Busy bees buzz around thistles at the hem of this sweet dress! Worked in the round from the bottom up, this dress begins with a picot edge. The charted stranded knitting pattern is worked next, then a simple knit-and-purl pattern gives texture to the full skirt. The upper body is divided at the armholes and worked flat. Picot trim finishes off the armholes, and clever construction allows one shoulder to unbutton for easy on-and-off. Weave a bright ribbon through the eyelets at the waist for the perfect finishing touch!
