Every little girl needs a sundress for the summer, and what could be more summery than a sundress knit in a beautiful butter-yellow cotton? The bottom of the dress features a picot hem and a delicate eyelet-and-cable pattern. The top of the dress is simple stockinette stitch, which shows off the beauty of the Nashua Creative Focus Cotton yarn. The neck and armhole openings are edged in garter stitch. This will be a dress to live in for the summer!
