Kids Ruffle Tunic Knitting Pattern

Knit a Ruffled Lace Tunic for Any Girl

You want her first tunic to feel special, not just another sweater. This one has the ruffle and lace details that make the extra time worth it.

Rated intermediate, this tunic uses skills you already know, knit, purl, yarn overs, and short rows, just put together in a new way. You'll work top down in one piece, so you always know how it's coming together.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Chest 22.5"–36" (56–90cm), sized 12/18 months to 14/15 years

• Comes with instructions for short and long sleeves, so one project covers warm days and cool ones
• Sized from 12/18 months through 14/15 years, so you can make it again as she grows or for another child
• Worked top down in one piece with clear shoulder shaping, so you always know where you are

           "She spun around in it the second I put it on her, ruffles and all."
