LEONORA, a pinafore dress for kids

LEONORA - a beautiful woollen pinafore for the girl. The wool is a 4-ply. The model is worked from top towards bottom. The upper part is in large ribbed pattern whereas the striped skirt is worked in stocking st. The work has mainly been made in rounds on circular needles - or you can work flat front and back separately and then stitch together by sewing. Everything is explained in the pattern which includes a chart for the coloured stripes. Skill level required from 1 (beginner) to 5 (advanged): 3.

The measurements given troughout the pattern are all in cm as well as in inches. The photo shows the pinafore dress in size 10 yrs.
