I made her a little knit top using some green yarn from another knit I frogged. Oh, I love this pattern. It knits up really quickly and that green cotton is so much cuter on her than it is on me.
The green polka-dot pants were made from a skirt I bought three years ago that I never wore. She loves looking at all my skirts now, thinking they will be made into something for her to wear.
The details on the top:
Pattern: Girls capped sleeve spring top-another free one!
Yarn: Cascade Sierra, about one skein
Mods: I cast on 62 stitches because I was using worsted weight yarn instead of DK weight. Instead of knitting 15 rounds after the increases, I knit 13 then where the sleeves are I knit a P1 K1 rib for 35 stitches on each side. I then cast off the 35 (instead of 40) for the sleeves. I also added two rows of ribbing on the bottom.
The details on the pants:
I used an old skirt of mine and laid this pattern right on top, matching the bottom of the pattern to the bottom of the skirt. No hemming necessary.
Oh, and the Hello Kitty sandals are from Target.

Cute little top. Kris called me right away and asked if I could make that bigger for her daughter. Good job recycling on the pants.
This little sweater is so sweet. In fact...the whole little outfit is precious!! Think I'll try my hand at this (I've never used circs before). My little grand- girlie, Libby, would look so cute in this...thanks for the pattern!!!
This outfit is sooooooo sweet! There is something about polka dots on little girls that makes my heart sing.
Oh that is lovely! Such a gorgeous colour too.
