The two coloured June dress is an ideal summer dress that can be perfectly knitted with cotton, silk, bamboo, linen or a combination of these. It is worked top down in the round, starting with the breast part and moving further to the peplum part through yarnover increases. The dress can be knitted to a length that you desire, but also the bottom band is up to you, if you want it in the CC or to remain in the MC. The top (and bottom) band is knitted in garter stitch and the 4 straps are attached to the band and worked at last. You can tie them together to a cute knot.

Sizes: 6-12 months, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 years
Length: 34, 36, 42, 54, 58cm (measured without straps)
Chest: 46, 50, 54, 58, 62cm
Gauge: 25 sts = 10cm in stockinette stitch
Needles: 3,5mm circular needles (60cm)
Yarn: Fingering/Sports weight: 100, 150, 150, 200, 250g of MC and 15-20g of CC
