acacia






acacia is a simple and summery little singlet knit seamlessly and top-down in cotton. This is a deceptively simple and quick knit that yields gorgeous results.
acacia can be knit with either a few gathers across the bodice of the singlet and finished with a ribbon; or the body fully gathered. Either is equally super girly and cute and looks great with either skirts, shorts or pants.

Worked in wool this pattern is just as versatile as a cute little vest for the changing weather. If knitting in wool or a wool blend allow an extra 50-70 yards.

darwinia









Darwinia is a gorgeously girly garment that can be knit as either a dress or baby doll. This is a deceptively simple knit that yields gorgeous results. Ruffles, gathers and twirly; what more does any girl want?

Darwinia is suitable for either cotton or wool, making it the perfect garment to knit any time of the year. It looks equally cute by itself or layered over tshirt, leggings or jeans. Both styles are my daughter’s current favourite garments!
