The idea for this top/dress came from Little Sister's dress. Her first one still fits her. Surely, it's not a dress anymore, a vest more likely. But it is still being used. And looks as cute as ever.
I aimed for a 2-3T size, but clearly this came out more of a 4-5T sized. It does fit her, with loads of room to grow.
In retrospect, I could have incorporated some increases in the scalloped lace bit.
The yarns that I used - Jamiesons's Spindrift and Rowan Scottish Tweed - are warmth pure. This will be well needed once the cold kicks in.
In other knitting news, I had to interrupt my lace shawl knitting to whip up a hat for my little one. Birgitte just blogged about this, so I knit the same hat in some lovely Rowanspun 4ply. The hat is done and I'm on the BO bit for the shawl.

It's beautiful! And isn't it great that little ones can get so much wear out of a tunic? All the way from dress to vest!
