After a number of adult designs I'm happy to share a children one - Talea Tunic.
I wanted to create a light weight summer dress with simple shape and beautiful texture. So for this tunic I have chosen lovely summer yarn Mary Maxim Simply Natural. In spite of DK weight, this yarn feels really light weight thanks to bamboo. It is very soft and drapes beautifully.
Talea Tunic is knitted back and forth on straight needles. It has A-shape silhouette with dropped shoulders and round neck. The neck and sleeve bands are knitted in the round.
For this tunic I used a combination of easy to memorise stitches - Tiny knots stitch and Caterpillar stitch divided by a number rows in garter stitch.
The knitting pattern for Talea Tunic is easy to follows and suitable for advanced beginners. It is written for wide range of sizes from 9-12 months through child 13-14 years.
It is available from Ravelry with 10% off until 3rd of June. Use code TALEA10 at checkout to get your discount.

Do you know of instructions or a video regarding adding the second skein of yarn. I'm fine with CHANGING to a new skein, but having two in use at once is playing with my brain. LOL
