The Margherita dress is our Christmas dress for 2020. The dress's lace pattern has given the dress its name, as the five-year-old girl in this house could only see pizzas where the rest of us saw small flowers. Regardless of what one sees, the dress is knitted in a simple lace pattern. The dress is knitted from the top down, with raglan increases. The dress has ribbed edges that contrast with the wide skirt and the feminine lace pattern. The skirt can therefore also be used both for everyday wear and for parties. The dress has a slit at the neck that closes with a button. The sleeves are 3/4 length, they can be knitted longer if desired, by repeating the pattern.
