The yarn is Babyboo, by Knit one Crochet Too, a squishy combination of bamboo and nylon. I love the slight shimmer-without-scratchiness in this yarn. I used a few inchest short of 3 balls--even the swatch was frogged to finish the edging! The bottom edge looks crocheted but is a fancy cast-on, and I did single-crochet around the neck/arm-holes instead of knitting 1 row (wtf!) as written. I used US size 2 needles instead of the recommended 4, since even when I got gauge the dress looked way too big.
The buttons on top are plain old clear buttons. I've let too many projects languish because of lack of time to find the right notions, and I'm afraid the recipient of this lil dress might grow out of it soon!

Very cute - looks like a fun knit too.
I'm adding it to my list of things-to-knit-if-friends'-baby-is-a-girl
Slightly hoping it is a girl as the baby-boy knits seem less fun...
it's adorable!! The sunny yellow, the lace detailing- it's the perfect knitted baby dress. Great job!!

So cute! I confess to sometimes doing the k1 row things since I'm uncoordinated with a hook and I can get the same look, but neater, that way.
Super cute!
I vote to DO the Twist. Maybe they'll be playing 60's on 6 today at CV and you can work it out. Can't wait to see it, way cute!
Oh that is so cute!!! Such a summery splash of color too.
I've knit a baby hat and booties so far, but it's definitely great for instant gratification, as they're such quick knits!
