This little halter has served our Sugar Lump well. She wore it as a dress over a onesie as a toddler and now as a tunic as a bigger girl. I used this basic pattern: Katja and modified it to make it longer and add the eyelets and a-line. I knit the ties in garter rather than i-cord. Oh, I also knit it in the round, but you could easily seam it as the pattern suggests. It was asuper fun way to use up some stash scraps!

Hope you're enjoying your summer a busying your fingers with relaxing little projects.

Our big boy wanted to make this for his sister for her birthday. With construction paper, pipe cleaners and scissors, we played the day away.

All the cuts made by the littles worked just fine. She loved it!

For two dollars at a thrift store, our little Sugar Lump got the perfect girlie summer outfit. She loves the twirly skirt--just an elastic waist. The halter is just hems and bias tapes to create the ties.
