Moon Glade Dress

The Moon Glade Dress is a pretty lightweight dress for ages 6 months up to 10 years. The dress is top-down, raglan-shaped, and has lace detail over the sleeves and bottom of the skirt. A button section sits just slightly right of the spine so babies and little girls can lie down without buttons poking them in the back.

When I first saw this design in my head I pictured a little girl dancing barefoot in the grass with the moonlight shining down on her. The image stayed with me for 3 years, until I could finally bring it to life.

Links to video instructions are provided throughout the pattern for the trickier aspects.

I would recommend this pattern for intermediate to advanced knitters.
