Modern kids need knitwear
that grows with them, and Valley Yarns Clementine, an A-line tunic is both
stylish and practical knit in Valley Superwash Sport. Worn first as a dress and
later as a tunic. It features long sleeves, as well as a Peter Pan collar and a
wide contrast color band worked in a chevron stitch pattern. I’ll be her go-to for school and play! Clementine is worked in the round with A-line shaping from
hem to underarms. Sleeve stitches are picked up at the armhole edge and worked
back and forth, then seamed together. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Sport is
made from 100% extra fine Merino which makes it incredibly soft and a great
choice for knitwear for kids.
