Last week I knitted this dress for my granddaughter, and finished off the appliqued sheep last night.
This is a combination of two patterns - the one I found with the sheep design had a fancy smock style bodice with a Peter Pan collar, which I didn't like at all, too fussy. The other pattern had a lacy skirt, but a nice plain bodice. So I knitted the second pattern, omitting the lace. Initially I tried knitting the sheep into the skirt as per the first pattern, but my work was tight and lumpy and did not look good. So instead I knitted the dress plain, and then made little sheep bodies to be sewn on with their legs, tails & heads embroidered over the top. I think it came out pretty well!
Now we just have to see if it fits the young lady in question!
