Doll's Posie Pinafore | PDF Knitting Pattern

Please note: This pattern comes in digital form. After the purchase is complete you'll be automatically emailed the PDF file/s to download.

The Posie Pinafore is knitted flat on two needles and comes in two different sizes and two different styles. Knit a pinafore with a Fair Isle flower border or knit a plain one, the choice is yours! You can have lots of fun knitting up different colours to match your doll's outfits.

The pinafore features a shaped waist with a split at the back and a press stud closure, for ease of dressing the doll. Buttons at the front add extra detail and the finishing touch. 

The finished Posie Pinafore is not recommended as a toy for children under the age of 4 years due to small parts.
