Baby Tunic

This cute little dress was made using the Super Simple Baby Tunic pattern. I used size 4mm (US 6) needles and chose to knit the pattern in the round. The only modification I made to the pattern was to add an extra 10 rows to the straps to make them a little bit longer.

The dress was made with some gorgeous yarn I bought at Espace Tricot while on vacation in Montreal last fall. It is hand dyed yarn by Tanis Fiber Arts, an all Canadian company.  The yarn is Yellow Label DK weight and the colour is deep sea.  One of the best parts about it is that it's 100% superwash merino and therefore machine washable and dryable (which I consider a must when I give something as a baby gift). The yarn came in a 115g (4 oz)/238m (260yds) hank and after completing the dress there is enough left over for a doll dress or other small project.

I'm happy with the dress, but I think it needs some type of embellishment to make it complete.  I'll post again when I've figured that part out . . .
