THE TILLY BABY DRESS KNITTING PATTERN

The Tilly Baby Dress knitting pattern is a charming knitted dress for babies and toddlers, sized from birth to 3 years. Worked in DK yarn, this baby dress knitting pattern is a rewarding make with a beautifully simple silhouette and an adorable cat motif detail that gives it real personality.

Practical as well as pretty, the shoulder button fastening makes dressing wriggly little ones a breeze. Not a fan of the intarsia? The cat motif is completely optional — the dress knitting pattern works beautifully as a classic plain style too.

Whether you’re making a gift or adding to a little one’s wardrobe, this is a knitting pattern you’ll reach for again and again.
