Product Description
This quick and simple little top (which could easily be made longer into a dress), is ideal for those Summer days. Quick and easy to knit, with enough detail to keep the knit enjoyable, only seaming is the join at the shoulders. The top could then be worn with a little shirt under for the Spring, and a warmer top under for colder Autumn/Winter months. Great little pop over top.

Pandorea Tunic / Dress - P180 by OGE Knitwear Designs
What is Being Made
The Pandorea Tunic / Dress is a knitted garment designed by OGE Knitwear Designs as a versatile top that transitions between tunic and dress styling. This downloadable PDF pattern offers sizing from newborn through 4 years old, making it an ideal project for creating fitted yet comfortable garments for infants and toddlers. The design features adjustable proportions with distinct strap-to-hemline measurements that accommodate growth across multiple age ranges.
Techniques and Construction
This knitting project employs intermediate-level techniques suitable for knitters with foundational skills. The construction utilizes circular needles for the main body work, allowing for seamless or nearly seamless knitting in the round. The pattern incorporates both circular and straight needle work, as straight needles are required for specific sections of the garment. The tunic/dress design includes straps and a hemline structure, suggesting techniques such as ribbed edging, increases for shaping, and finishing methods appropriate for baby garments.
Stitches Used
While specific stitch patterns are not detailed in the provided pattern information, the intermediate difficulty rating indicates the use of standard knitting stitches beyond basic garter and stockinette. The finished garment structure suggests the incorporation of shaping techniques, ribbed sections for the straps and neckline, and hemline finishing stitches typical of tunic and dress construction.
Materials Required
- Yarn Weight: Sport weight yarn, providing a lightweight and breathable fabric ideal for baby garments
- Needles: 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles measuring 40 cm (16 in), 3mm (UK 11) circular needles measuring 40 cm (16 in), and one pair of 3mm (UK 11) straight needles
Finished Measurements
The pattern provides comprehensive sizing across six age categories with corresponding chest and length measurements. Dress length from the top of the strap ranges from 30 cm (11¾ in) for newborn to 3-month sizing up to 40 cm (15¾ in) for the 3-year size. Chest measurements span from 41 cm (16 in) to 50 cm (19½ in) depending on the selected size, ensuring proper fit throughout the early childhood years.
