Stitches are picked up for the neckband and button band at the back. You then have the option of either short sleeves which are knitted separately and sewn onto the dress or picking up stitches for a moss stitch armhole edge band.

Yarn:

The pattern uses cotton double knitting wool, but you can substitute for regular DK yarn.

The picture shows the 0-6 months size knitted using Rico Baby Cotton Soft DK in shade Mauve (048) for Short Sleeved Dress and Smokey Rose (047) for the Sleeveless Dress.
