As I have mentioned before, my baby sister Bri is pregnant. I can’t remember if I mentioned that she is going to have a girl. Maggie. Cute right? Even though we have only met via the few kicks I have felt her give through her mom’s tummy, I can already feel the bond she and I have and I can’t wait to officially meet in around 5 weeks.
So of course, Maggie needs some hand-knits and thankfully she has two aunts who can deliver such items. Early on, Kara chose a super cute hoodie pattern for the baby and I really wanted to knit a dress. It was hard for me to choose a pattern because there is just so much cuteness to be knit. It came down to a debate between this and this and finally…
This. Vintage Baby Dress.
I have mentioned this before but I will say it again. I sure do enjoy a good baby knit. Everything is so wee.

In about 7 months time I promise to take a picture of Maggie with her dress on and show her off. Now all I have to do is wait for her to be born. Can’t. Wait.
Um, that is sooo darling. Can I please, please commission you to knit some baby items for me, especially when/if I have a girl.
Stop it. That is the cutest thing ever! I’m in love. You are one talented gal.
Baby knits are so adorable! Very nice.
That is beautiful! Serious swooning over here.
So cute! So vintage! Love it!
Did you know I just stare at this now? All the time? I love it so much I can hardly stand it. Maggie’s going to love it, too. (She’s got good taste like that.)
And I love you. A lot. A lot, a lot.
Thanks for, you know, everything.
This dress turned out so so darling. And I love the polka-dots!
Maggie is going to be one stylish baby. And a very lucky niece!
love it! absolutely adorable. just like maggie will be.
Love it! Can’t wait to see little Maggie wearing it.
Too cute! Maggie is going to be just too stylish for words!
The dress is precious. Maggie is one lucky little girl.
So cute, Erin. Great choice. Although I like the other ones too and I think Maggie would like all three of them in her wardrobe at some point in time during her wee life. That’s my two cents. You are welcome Bri. Can’t wait to see you oh so soon.
I love the pattern you picked–it is so adorable! Great color too.
it may be wee in size but maxi in cuteness! so glad i got to see it!…and you had better post a pix of maggie modeling it!
Maggie is so lucky to have such talented aunts. She is going to have the most stylish wardrobe ever! I see some modeling for IK and Twist Collective in her future!
Awww. What a sweet sister and aunt you are! I crocheted a beanie on accident for Abi when she was born. When was that, like, 9 1/2 years ago? That’s been the extent of my cute auntness.
Wayyyy cute!
So so very sweet. What a darling pattern! I’m looking forward to that 6 mo. old picture too! And I know you’ll enjoy every minute between now and then too.
baby knits are so fun!
oh erin, this is so cute. It’s not helping my want for a pink person instead of a blue person. I can’t wait to see you, so excited.
Loved the dress, Erin. So adorable. The color is so soft and nice for a little baby! You knitters are amazing!
Oh that Maggie is going to be just adorable in that dress. Can’t wait to see it on the cute thing.
