Idara

Introducing the Idara Tunic, a stunning vintage-inspired piece that is perfect for creating cherished heirlooms to be passed down through generations. This delightful top features a top-down construction method, making it easy to knit from the neckline down to the hem. The buttoned back adds a charming touch, while a beautifully crafted center lace panel enhances its intricate design. The full princess skirt offers a playful silhouette that is perfect for little ones to twirl around in. With its thoughtfully designed positive ease, this tunic provides plenty of room for growth, allowing babies to wear it comfortably for months at a time.

Designed using the luxurious Anzula Milky Way yarn (fingering weight), your finished piece will not only look beautiful but feel incredibly soft against your baby's delicate skin. When knitting, use a US 4 (3.50 mm) needle—or whichever needle best helps you achieve the desired gauge of 24.0 stitches per 4 inches. The pattern offers a yardage requirement of 400(450,550,600,650,700,800,900) yards, accommodating various sizes ranging from Newborn through 4T-5T.
