I thought this dress deserved to come in my size. If anyone thinks they recognize it, it’s nowonder. One of my very first knitting designs for children was called “Bamsekjolen” from the book “Strikk i all enkelhet. The pattern has received a little upgrade, more sizes, and a new name. The dress is knitted from the bottom up and sewn together at the shoulders.
