Design

The dresses have a heart and crosses pattern and a moss stitch hem. The front and back are knitted separately and sewn together. The moss stitch neckband is added by picking up stitches. You then have the option of either short sleeves which are knitted separately and sewn onto the dress or picking up stitches for a moss stitch armhole edge band.
