Pretty in Pink Girl's Dress
If you post a picture somewhere else on the internet of an item that you have made from my patterns, please be kind to provide the direct link to my website. Do not change names of my patterns. I’ve worked hard on these patterns and changing the name does not change the pattern. This is a copyrighted pattern. Be respectful of that fact.

I have her permission to use her pattern for this pattern. I learned how to armholes from her Pullover Sweater for Babies. Thank you very much Kelly! You are very kind!
