In the summer, kids need to feel comfortable and have a lot of room for movement. There are so many kids’ clothes that doesn’t provide that – it’s not stretchy enough, it’s itchy or rolls up when it shouldn’t.
Not to mention that many fabrics get all wrinkly after a short time and look just horrible. Knitted dresses are a great solution to all of these problems. They are soft, stretchy and always look good! The best part, though, is that you can easily make them yourself. Grab your knitting needles, choose kid-friendly soft yarn and try it! Such knitted dress doesn’t have to be complicated, in fact, simplicity and minimalism are very on trend now. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
