Happy Birthday - Tunic




A Gift for my Daughter's 7th Birthday

By far, this has been one of the nicest items I have made(so I think).  I dabbled in a little bead work as well for the first time and added beading to the neck line as I knitted.  I wanted to use very subtle beads, I didn't want anything to stick out and be too obvious.  So I used clear beads to give a little bit of sparkle to the top.

Yarn used was KnitPicks cotlin, which is a DK weight. Colours used were Flamingo and Swan.  This is a cotton/linen (70 /30) blend which is perfect for the summer months.  The original pattern is the Sydney Lace Dress.  I decided to make this project into a long tunic and for my daughter to wear it with a skirt of pants.
