Introducing the charming ‘Color Me Pretty’ top, the second design in my delightful series of fun Fair Isle garments created specifically for children. This whimsical top is perfect for your little one, offering a stylish A-line silhouette that can be customized for varying heights. Since children grow at their own pace, the length of the top is easily adjustable, allowing you to tailor it perfectly to your child's dimensions.
This top is designed to be worked entirely in the round from the top down, making it a great project for knitters looking for an engaging and enjoyable knitting experience. The lower section features a captivating colorwork design that showcases your creativity, ensuring every piece is unique.
