Striped T-shirt dress


A simple little T-shirt dress pattern. Sizing is written for my 2 1/2 yr old.
Color Rows are grouped in 7's so you could easily lengthen or shorten by increasing or decreasing that number to keep the stripes equal.
Also if you want it bigger/smaller width wise add/subtract from initial starting chain.
However you will need to take that into account when starting the sleeves.

Also I recommend a seamless join like that of Sarah London
It's a little extra work but mostly eliminates the back seam that can get distracting.

I think that's all...Enjoy the pattern and please link back or share your finished garment
on Ravelry. I would love to see the results...

At the end of row 34 shouldn't it be ch 7? If I do a ch 8 then I would end up with 6 hdc plus the ch 2 which counts as a hdc.

Dress shirts with stripes can be worn with a solid color black or navy business suit. This creates a nice look and breaks from the usual plain white dress shirt. Though striped shirts are formal, if you work in an environment that is conservative, opt for the shirts with narrow stripes.Tshirt Design

Great looking dress! how many yards of yarn did you use so I know how much to purchase? I see you used w weight, but is it cotton or acrylic? I wanted to know because where I live it's very hot and I think cotton projects are best during summer.
