Billie the Sheep's Dress and Cardigan

Billie likes freshly cut grass and hugs. This sheep also enjoys wearing fancy clothes, including a dress with spaghetti straps and an open-front cardigan. Both are worked from the top-down, using DK weight yarn. The dress is worked in the round, and features a leafy pattern that grows in width and length at the same time, resulting in an effortless A-line shape. The raglan cardigan is made using the same color as the dress for the ribbing, and a contrasting color for the body and sleeves. The simple stockinette stitch makes it perfect for using a lovely speckled colorway. Want to make Billie really really happy? Knit the same dress for a child, then they can match and share hugs!
