XP/AW/PIP: My first knit clothing project

I'm so excited that this turned out as well as it did! The only other knit project I've done is a sampler scarf, and that was probably a year or more ago. I finally put down my crochet hooks to try to learn knitting for real, and I'm pretty happy with how this toddler tunic turned out. It's not perfect, but it's not awful either!

Sorry it's not a great picture, but I don't have a model or a baby clothes-sized hanger to display it properly. You get the idea, though.
I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I love it! It is so cute. I can think of a few little girls in my life that would look adorable in it!

    Thanks!  I wish I had someone to give it to actually, haha!  I did it mostly for practice but I don't know anyone who's a 2T size.  I thought about asking for any takers here....

  • Very cute! You are lucky to have such talent. I attempted to knit a shirt and failed big time so I am sticking to scarves and blankets for now.

    Thank you!  But, really, it's a fairly simple pattern.  All done in the round, no seaming at the end!  When I'm learning, I like to pick projects where I have a high likelihood of success so I don't get discouraged :)

  • Okay, stop please.  You are too talented and I'm jealous!!  That tunic is so freaking cute.  I'll have to check that pattern out b/c I'm trying to get my knitting mojo back and something with a high possibility of success sounds right up my alley.  ;)

    I've seen your skillz, you can totally do this!  I dunno that J will be willing to wear it, but you can cross (dress) that bridge when you come to it Wink

    And thanks so much for the compliments, everyone!

    I can do hats in the round, so maybe I could do this pattern. I will have to bookmark it in case we have a girl. Smile
