Dandelion. Hand Knit & Chochet Tunic Pattern for Kids
| February 9, 2010 | Filled under 2010, Patterns |
I’ve spent many summer hours as a little girl lying on the grass watching the clouds go by. Invariably, there were dandelion flowers and late seeds,
drifting through the air, put there either by summer breezes or by blowing on them. This hand knitted tunic with crocheted ruffles captures a bit of the
feel of that time to me… Made in limes, green and precious turquoise with bright yellow accent, this tunic is cool for any occasions and can be made in
any colors combination with other kind of flowers and 3D details. No matter what is on your schedule, your darling Princess will sure attract attention
in this pretty, stylish, fully-detailed tunic.

Yarn: Cascade Cotton Rich (64% cotton, 36% nylon/50 g (1.75 oz)/80 yds)
2-5 balls; Omega Perle #5 (100% cotton/ 50 g (1.75 oz)/178 yd):
