Bibi Dress

Bibi Dress is a sweet children’s dress that combines garter stitch and stripes. The dress is worked top down with short rows at the neckline and shoulders for a comfortable fit. The entire dress is worked flat, meaning you only work knit stitches throughout. Finally, the sides of the dress are sewn together using mattress stitch.
