Seed Dress Junior is a long children’s dress worked in suri alpaca- and lace-yarn. The pictured model is wearing a size 5/6 years. The dress is light, airy, and quickly knitted. Furthermore, the dress has a 16 cm negative ease, so if the child’s chest measurement (the yoke underneath the sleeves) is 72 cm, you’ll have to knit a size 3/4 years, since 72 – 16 = 56 cm. You can knit the skirt a bit shorter to give the dress more of a positive ease, for the child to move around in.
