Actually Elann Sonata is a DK weight yarn, however, I felt that DK is too thick to my climate. The yarn is 4 ply, I remove 1 ply and make it only 3 ply to make it sport weight. The result is just nice.
I made the pocket apple shape, because I felt that just plain square pocket is boring. I am happy with the result as it really made this dress very cute. I also made the sleeves a bit ruffled by increasing in the shoulder. I made this dress a bit bigger so she can wear it longer. Too bad that I only have 5 balls of yarn, because I think I need another ball to make it longer.

Dear Lily Go,
ReplyDeleteI feel so fortunate to have found your Lauri dress pattern on Etsy. Now I have found your website and blog and am eager to work on not only the Laurie dress for my three-year-old granddaughter, Gwyneth, but other items for me. Thank you! Eugenie in Santa Rosa, California
