A pattern for dress, cardigan and hat in DK. Sizes to fit from premature to 12 months.
Please note: older versions of this pattern will say, "BHKC" (British Hand Knitting Confederation) instead of "UKHKA" (UK Hand Knitting Association), but the patterns are exactly the same.
UKHKA don't give a suggested yarn, but we would recommend using either Patons Fairytale Soft DK or Sirdar Snuggly DK.
Needles: 3.25mm (UK 10, US 3), and 4mm (UK 8, US 6)
This pattern also requires stitch holders for the dress and buttons for the cardigan.
