Child's Sun Top

Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (new)

GAUGE:

18 sts + 38 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). 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.

Child's Sun Top Reviewed by kathie gatfield on 2010-01-16 *****
Sooo cute, I made mine pink on bottom, then, switched to a variegated yarn for the bodice. Then, I made three 1 1/2" flowers out of crocheted dark pink, and put along the bodice. I wish I knew how to put pics up, I also made a floppy brim hat to match, with a single crocheted flower to pin up the front brim. Very easy to make!!
