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...
