Featuring a sweet sleeveless dress with a textured bodice, flared shell-stitch skirt, scalloped ruffle trim, and a charming rose-accented belt, this set is full of thoughtful details. The coordinating sun hat completes the look with matching shell texture and a playful flower embellishment. Made with KnitPal Tweed Twinkles DK yarn—or Cotton to the Core DK as an alternative—this easy-level pattern is perfect for warm-weather outings, special occasions, or heartfelt handmade gifts.
