Inspired by a fun summer dress my girls loved to wear, and a yarn that was too irresistible to not buy. Starting out as a simple halter top tunic, with the added edge on the back making it a T-strap tunic. The length can be adjusted to make it tunic length or a dress length, or shorter if that is your preference. A play on my daughter’s name and the yarn that inspired this beautiful little tunic that any little girl would love.

PATTERN NOTES

  • Knit from the collar/top down.
  • Skirt length can be adjusted to be longer or shorter depending on how many increase sets you want; note that the edging is 2” wide.
  • Choose the size based on the best fitting chest measurement. This tunic is designed for actual size.
  • Other than the back strap and skirt edge, the piece is knit in stockinette stitch. The back strap is knit in garter stitch.
  • The CHEST area is knit flat.
  • You may want to add extra garter rows along the back cast on edge.
