The Good Guest
Pattern description
Lori’s friend Laura lives in Barbados with her husband and two young daughters. Lori has an open invitation to visit Laura anytime she needs a break from the brutal New York winters, and Lori takes advantage of this almost every February when she just can’t take the cold anymore. As a good guest, Lori wants to bring gifts for her host, but it isn’t easy carting most gifts on an airplane. So Lori has made it a custom to bring knitted items for the girls when she visits. (A spring yarn is a must since they live in a hit climate). For one particular visit, Lori thought matching dresses would be a cute idea, so we designed an A-line dress for them. They looked so adorable that we knew we would have to include the pattern in this book.
