Little sunshine tunic

This adorable tunic is designed specifically for newborn girls, adding a touch of vibrant color to their wardrobe. We all could use a splash of bright hues in our lives, and this lovely peach tunic certainly delivers! With the following measurements—chest circumference of 44 cm, length of 34 cm, and a bottom width of 72 cm—this tunic is perfect for keeping your little one stylish and comfortable.

For this project, you can use any DK yarn, and only one 100g ball is required. I highly recommend the soft and gentle feel of James C. Brett Supreme Soft & Gentle Baby DK yarn, which is perfect for delicate baby skin. The tunic is crafted using a bottom-up flat construction method and is later seamed at the sides for a clean finish. While it’s possible to knit it in the round, I must admit that I prefer the flat approach—don’t ask me why! ?

This pattern is beginner-friendly and easy to follow, making it an excellent choice for knitting enthusiasts of all skill levels. Each step is clearly outlined, with detailed explanations for almost every row, so you can easily mark your completed sections and never lose your place. You’ll find that the simplicity and clarity of this written pattern will inspire confidence in your knitting journey!

Whether you’re knitting for your own child or as a thoughtful gift for someone special, this tunic project is sure to bring joy. I hope you have a delightful time creating this charming piece, and I wish you many happy moments filled with knitting! ??
