HOW TO KNIT THE GIRLS' STRIPED PINAFORE DRESS?

Back

With Caricia Rayas yarn color 002 and knitting needles, cast on 90 sts. Every 12 rows, increase 1 st on each side (a total of 12 sts on both sides). At 40 cm, shape the armhole.

Armhole

Bind off 9 sts on each side at once. Continue for 22 more rows.

Straps

To begin the straps, place the first 9 sts on a stitch holder and bind off the next 30 sts; With the remaining 9 sts, continue straight until reaching 15 cm and then bind off. Work the previous 9 sts in the same way.

Front

Work the same as the back. Cast on the same number of sts as for the back and shape the armhole following the previous instructions, but at 45 cm, make the buttonholes for 2 sts (see tutorial how to make buttonholes). After 6 rows, bind off all sts.  

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

Sew the sides and tack. Finally, sew the wooden buttons onto the two straps.
