A pretty long-sleeved tunic dress dress for your little girl, which features a heart-shaped cable design on the front only. You can adjust this pattern to make it longer or shorter if you wish: for longer simply add in the number of required rows before the shaping instructions, and for shorter amend the length mentioned in the pattern once shaping is complete – there are corresponding notes in the pattern to help you with this. Catriona is pronounced Kat-reena, and means “pure and clear.”
