Fruit Loop
A darling pattern for toddlers in three delicious flavors!
Strawberry Fruit Loop
Pineapple Fruit Loop
Grape Fruit Loop
Dress up that adorable little girl in fresh and fruity colors. When worked in a lightweight, easy-care hemp and cotton blend (or similar) yarn, this sleeveless top or dress is the perfect outfit for those hot summer days, and when temperatures cool down, it will look equally pretty over a little white t-shirt.
The top/dress is knit in the round starting with color A at the bottom hem. The skirt section is knit to the desired length for a top or dress, and then gathered in the front of the skirt before joining color B to knit the bodice. The skirt can be knit in a plain stockinette stitch, or one of the pretty pattern stitches noted in Variations.

I had thought that you had just changed colours for the different versions, until I looked closer and saw that they all had individual stitch patterns. This is a great pattern, so adorable! :)
Amanda says;
Awesome, awesome awesome! I'm so proud of your pattern writing. I'll get a pic to you of the test knit. Sorry I was a lousy test knitter and disappeared with the goods!

What an adorable and sweet knit! I love the way it changes from pattern to pattern with the different stitches! You should design a big person one since it looks so comfy! :)
