Meadow Lily

If you're looking for a charming and playful knitting project, look no further than the Meadow Lily Top. Named after the delicate flower, this beautifully designed top is perfectly girly without being overly frilly, making it ideal for active little ones. Crafted seamlessly in the round from the top down, the Meadow Lily Top features a full bodice, a fitted empire waist, an A-line skirt, and adorable puffed sleeves. This versatile pattern is written for a tunic-length top, but it's easy to customize and lengthen into a delightful dress for even more styling options.

For those looking to add special finishing touches, the pattern offers choices for the bottom hem, allowing you to select either a delicate crocheted edging or a simple lace finish. Additionally, you'll find instructions for both short and long sleeves, giving you the flexibility to adapt the design for different seasons and occasions.

The pattern is available in a range of sizes, including:
3M, 6M, 12M, 18M, 24M, 3T, and 4T (with corresponding chest measurements of 16", 17", 18", 19", 20", 21", and 22").

When it comes to materials, you'll need:
250 (350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600) yards of DK or light worsted weight yarn. If you wish to incorporate a main color alongside a contrast color, be sure that your contrast color constitutes about 25% of your total yardage to achieve the desired effect.

As a bonus, this pattern incorporates basic cable techniques, providing an excellent opportunity for knitters to enhance their skills while enjoying a rewarding project. Get started on your Meadow Lily Top today and create a delightful piece that your little one will adore!
