A while ago I did a test for Alicia Plummer.
It was this adorable little dress called Calendula and I knew immediately that I wanted to knit it.
Last year I knit T a super sweet cardigan called Korrigan in a beautiful purple. It was Ultra Alpaca Light colour 4283, a lovely heathered purple that I knew I must use again.
T grew out of Korrigan much too quickly for my liking so I decided to use that same yarn to knit her a Calendula.
Calendula is an A line dress, knit bottom up with the sweetest texture up the side.
Three simple flowers climb the side of the dress and make this a stunning number for any little girl.
As usual I am more likely to knit something if it will last through more than one season.
Calendula is no exception.
T will definitely be sporting this with tights or even a long sleeved tee underneath when she starts *gulp* preschool in the Fall.
I don’t see many knitted dresses that I like, but this one is a GEM!
very, very, very cute! love that little detail on the side. T is adorable
Very cute. That color is great on her.
This is a beautiful colour and really cute little dress. T is going to preschool already?! She is growing up fast.
Who said she could go to preschool!?!?!?!? I think she still needs a diaper changed, surely?! I love the dress and the name. Calendula is so healing!
Pre-school already? The dress is lovely.
What a pretty dress. I love that colour too. You really knit some gorgeous things for T!
It’s very pretty as always!
Very cute dress!
What a gorgeous little dress on a gorgeous little girl! This is my first time seeing the design, and it’s stunning.
Calendula looks so pretty on your little sweetie and really suits her. I think the flowers look adorable adding a nice twist to a simple dress.
Aww she looks so sweet in it! Love the colour, and it’ll be great for layering in the fall!
Adorable little dress ! Kelly , you HAVE to stop adding to my ravelry queue …
I can’t believe that Miss Korrigan doesn’t fit T anymore, she’s growing so fast!!! Love this dress on her and it will be perfect with tights in the fall too:)
