Machine Knit Baby Dress
TD6 Bulky 4 sts 6 rows = 1"
I used Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn
For a size 1 dress
CO 78 sts. Work 8 rows of the Fish Tail lace. If you have my Disk 3, I show how to do that, or if you don't have that disk, just wing it or do another lace that will help to stop the curl compared to plain Stockinette Stitch. Garter St may work out, but for a flat bed machine, that may be a bit tedious.
Work 36 rows Plain.
Now take off with Garter Bar or with 6 rows of WY.
Keep center half the NDLs in WP, so you will push back one quarter on each side back to NWP.
Hang 2 sts on each NDL. Decreased in half.
For those using a ribber, now transfer EOS to the ribber, for the flat bed machines, you will have to reform the first few rows on the outside but then when the armhole decrease is done, you can just knit up to the neckline and then reform to rib.
K 2 rows plain.
BO 2 sts at the beg of next 2 rows.
Dec 1 st EOR each side 3 times.
Work even until bodice measures 1 ¾".
BO center 9 sts, leaves 10 sts each side. Now you will work up one side at a time. Note RC here.
Continue with rib until bodice measures 4 ½".
Work buttonhole on center st, just transfer 1 st over, and leave empty NDL in work to create eyelet buttonhole.
Work 3 more rows and BO.
Put counter to what you noted above.
Repeat for the other side.
Now for the front, you will work up the same but no buttonhole.
Sew up side seams. Crochet around the armhole, sl st on the ends of the straps, crochet around the neck edge.
Weave in any ends. Sew on button.
