Instructions are for size newborn,
changes for sizes 6-12m,1-2y; 3-4y; 5-6y are in […]
Note: ch1 at the beginning of rnd or row doesn’t count as st
After you have finished the dress, I suggest to work sc around the
collar working into the remaining loop of foundation ch, to
prevent the straps from stretching out too much. This way you
can also adjust the collar for a better fit. Do it only when the dress
is finished.
