Beatrix
Introducing the Beatrix design, a delightful and clever knitting pattern that is completely knit in the round. This innovative approach not only eliminates the need for sewing but also allows for easy adjustments in both length and width, making it a versatile choice for your little one's wardrobe.
The Beatrix features a simple knitted bust that is both stylish and comfortable, providing a perfect fit for your child. One of the standout features of this pattern is the adjustable ribbon straps; you can elegantly tie a charming bow on each shoulder or opt for one stunning oversized bow on one side for a bolder look. This flexibility in design allows you to customize the garment to match your child's personality and style.
With positive ease built into the design, Beatrix is perfect for growing little girls, offering the potential to transition into a lovely tunic as they grow. This makes it not just a beautiful piece to knit, but also a practical addition to your child's wardrobe that can be enjoyed across different stages of their early years.
The Beatrix pattern is suitable for fingering weight yarn, specifically designed for yarn that falls under the fingering / 4 ply category (14 wpi). Achieve the correct tension with a gauge of 24 stitches per 4 inches, allowing for a beautifully crafted final product that feels great against your child’s skin.
For your convenience, use a US 4 - 3.5 mm needle size to ensure a smooth knitting experience. Depending on the size you choose, you'll need yardage ranging from 200 to 1400 yards (183 to 1280 meters), giving you the flexibility to work with your preferred yarn type and color.
This pattern is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate your growing child: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 18-24 months, 3T-4T, 5-6 years, 7-9 years, and 10-12 years. Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to create a precious piece for your child, the Beatrix design offers an engaging and rewarding knitting experience.
Dive into the world of knitting with Beatrix, and create a timeless piece that will bring joy to both you and your little girl, all while enhancing your knitting skills along the way!
