I bought it at my local Joann store. I think Walmart also sells this yarn.

Yes there is a you tube video for dividing the stitches thankfully. It was my first attempt at dividing stitches it was not to hard. follow the steps (knit 9, bind off 2, k 15, bind off 2, k 9)the first k9 is a shoulder the 15 is the neck the last k9 is the other shoulder - each of these sections are worked separate so take your first set of 9 stitches and work 7 rows by turning your yarn at the end of the 9 stitches as if you were at the end of a whole row after the 7 rows (I didn't have 3 balls of yarn so I just cut it (leaving a fairly long tail) and moved to the next section (which is the neck) work the next 15 stitches for 7 rows, again I cut the yarn and moved on to the next section of the last 9 stitches working for 7 rows.
when all the rows are worked proceed to the next step

I think the reason for circular needles is the needle gets a little heavy with the rows of yarn on it. I have knitted 3 of these so far with straight needles with no problem.

I'm a fairly experienced knitter but it took me a few minutes to understand about the 3 balls of yarn. I was going to knit each piece separately but decided to create 2 more little balls of yarn. I do like the method. Next dress I'll roll up 2 little balls of yarn before I start. The pattern is not too clear about using the single yarn again when doing the increase row. Used recommended yarn and needles, the size was perfect and the dress is really cute. Thanks!

When dividing you have 35 stitches on needle, k9 bind off 2 k15 bind off 2 knit 9. I end up 2 stitches short at the end, what am I doing wrong? I am stuck until I get an answer, so please help.

I made two of these one in the green and one in red. Beautiful and easy to make. The only trouble I has was weaving in the lace in the back seam.....Love..Love!

I had a time with that too! With subsequent dresses I knit the skirt in the round. When adding the ruffle I turned the edge of the ruffle yarn under when adding and thought I would somehow tack down those ends but it looked just fine so I didn't bother.

I have a question about turning the yarn after dividing the stitches. I am working with circular needles and after I divided the yarn and knitted the first of the seven rows, the working end of the yarn was on the inside of the circular needles and I couldn't knit anymore rows. How do you turn the work around on circular needles?

Why does the pattern call for 24" circular needles when the dress is not knitted in the round. Thank you.

I am having a great time knitting this; however, I think I bit off more than I can chew. I've not had to divide stitches before--is there a youtube video that anyone knows of to help explain this technique? Thanks!

I have made two of these the first one was way to big around the waist so I had to adjust the pattern on the second one it was still a bit big. did anyone else have that problem? I used the exact yarn, needle size and I knit really tight but the kids loved the dresses and they do look beautiful!! I added a satin ribbon around the waist and a tulle skirt to fluff the skirt out
