Sunbeam Kids' Dress

Construction:

You will work this dress from the top down. First, you will work the front and back separately, then join them to work the A-shaped body in the round. You will pick up stitches around the armholes and work I-Cord to create neat edging and shoulder straps. You can make the shoulder straps with or without ties. You can also make a tank top length instead of a dress.
