Her wardrobe is a lullaby in knitted form. She wears a delicate Baby Pink Dress adorned with fluffy White Cloud Embroidery drifting across the skirt. To keep the evening chill at bay, she drapes a sophisticated Light Grey Capelet over her shoulders, tied with a gentle bow. Her ears are kept warm by a matching Grey Bonnet featuring a sweet white scalloped brim that frames her face perfectly. On her feet, she wears soft Pink Shoes. She is ready for sweet dreams with her plush Pale Yellow Star Pillow and is accompanied by her fluffy friend, a Little Lamb made of textured yarn.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
