Introducing our the Zara Zebra Pinafore Dress Knitting Pattern! This delightful pattern is perfect for little ones aged 0-2 years, transforming them into the cutest zebra on the savannah. Crafted in soft DK weight yarn, this pinafore dress features charming black stripes, playful ears, and a sweet zebra face complete with nose and eyes. Ideal for both novice and experienced knitters. Knit a whimsical outfit that will make your baby the star of any playdate or photo session!
The pinafore is worked from the bottom up in two pieces and seamed. Elastic is added to the back of the skirt and two buttons hold the pinafore safely in place.
Charts are provided for the Zebra stripes, you could work these as you knit, but I recommend that you embroider them on using duplicate stitch as the end. After all every Zebra should be unique and these stripes work up in no time at all!
This pattern is suitable for an confident beginner who is comfortable with basic shaping.
