Knit this tunic in the recommended size to be worn with leggings, or knit it in a larger size for a younger child to be worn as a cute dress! This pattern works really well as one of those garments your child can grow in to. It’s so versatile!

Tunic dress is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. It is first worked back and forth in rows to create an opening in the back, then is joined and worked in the round for the body and sleeves. The stitch patterns used in this pattern are worked in sections.
