In March 2013 I knitted my best friend’s little girl a purple lacy dress as a belated birthday present.
I knitted this lovely Little Liza Jane dress, which is a great pattern.
It’s really straightforward pattern, with some nice added touches. Like the lace going up the skirt, and an added picot border at the bottom.
And for the bodice a lovely cable pattern.
I knitted this in DROPS Muskat, a nice cotton yarn that has a lovely sheen to it.
I also knit a pair of booties, using my version of Saartjes Bootees, adding a little extra touch to it.
And here is the dress with the booties, I am really pleased with how they turned out.
My friend send me some photos of her sweet girl wearing the dress…and doesn’t she just look adorable in it?
