Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (new)
GAUGE:
18 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Knit Sundress Reviewed by MARYELLEN BROWN on 2009-08-11
Because my granddaughter needs to wear a school uniform attending a charter school I needed to make this jumper in beige solid. I made this as a jumper for her as my daughter could not find any type of dress small enough in a school dress. I also made matching panties. My daughter had so many compliments on this outfit and the jumper was so easy to knit.
