February Toddler Tunic Design by Heather Ramsay of Cosmos From Chaos
Inspired by Elizabeth Zimmerman's February Baby Sweater (Baby Sweater On Two Needles) found inA Knitter'sAlmanac. Thiz iz designed as an easy-to-wear pullover for an active girl. It is knit from the bottom up in the round to the armpits, then back-and-forth for the shoulders. For the ease of the girl just learning to dress herself, the front and back are the same. The length is just long enough to be fancy and just short enough to stay out ofthe way for playtime. Knit it with some soft yarn in your little girl's favorite color.
