Modern kids need knitwear that grows with them, and Valley Yarns Clementine, an A-line tunic is both stylish and practical knit in Valley Superwash Sport. Worn first as a dress and later as a tunic, it features long sleeves, as well as a Peter Pan collar and a wide contrast color band worked in a chevron stitch pattern. It’ll be her go-to for school and play! Clementine is worked in the round with A-line shaping from hem to underarms. Sleeve stitches are picked up at the armhole edge and worked back and forth, then seamed together. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Sport is made from 100% extra fine Merino, which makes it incredibly soft and a great choice for knitwear for kids.
