Valley Yarns 986 Meadowlark PDF

Valley Yarns Meadowlark is a gorgeous baby dress and hat set knit in Conway. The dress and beret are accentuated by charming ruffles, making this a fun knit and a lovely shower gift for a new baby. Both pieces are knit in the round from the bottom up. The tiny ruffles are picked up and worked down the front of the stockinette bodice. The back of the neck is split and features a buttoned keyhole for easy-on and easy-off. Sleeves are worked separately and seamed to the body. Valley Yarns Conway is a DK weight yarn in a delightful palette of solid colors, ranging from brights to neutrals. It's a very soft blend of Pima cotton and acrylic with a slight sheen—perfect for warmer-weather garments.
