Blithe is an easy summer pattern that does double duty with a size range that includes infants up to girls' size 10. This sweet sundress can be worn long or short for little darlings and becomes a Boho chic top for older girls. I-cord shoulder straps keep things breezy while coverleaf eyelet pattern is simple enough for the newest knitter. Worked entirely in the round means no seaming and minimal finishing! Whip this little cutie up in Sport Weight Yarn in the space of a weekend. Skill level is beginner.
