Here's one of my latest new projects. I absolutely LOVE this pattern. It's so sweet. It can have long or short sleeves, as well as a contrasting panel and cuffs. The pattern allows me to vary the length of the sleeves and tunic. I can make it in any size, up to 12 years. I've also got a pattern in women's size.
This one is a practice one. I think I made the tunic too short and I think the sleeves could have been longer. It's supposed to fit 6 - 12 mths, but it's very much on the small side, especially the neckline. I'm certainly going to make more of these!
The one problem I've found with this pattern is that the neckline is rather small and it won't actually go over many babies' heads. This one is 18mth - 2 years in size, but there's no way it will fit over a child's head of that age...
...so, what I think I'll do is cut a slit at the back and sew a button and loop. I think I'll do that for each tunic from now on.
