If you are looking for a quick, simple, fun knit for a little girl, Monica by Christine Schwender may be just the thing!
I made a few modifications — worked it in the round, added an extra row of garter stitch at the bottom of the ruffle (which I’d worked first) and three more at the hem to keep it from curling, and made the straps in I-cord. Julia thought that the ruffle under her arms was itchy at first, but after a minute or two its flirtiness won her over.
This is a gift for a friend of ours who is three tomorrow, but I’m having a hard time getting it back from Julia now, and so I foresee another one in the near future!
