A darling little top on its own, but for the brave, add some fun with tie-dye! It may sound scary to take something you have spent time on knitting and subjecting it to dye, but the results are worth every moment of anxiety. Besides, tie-dye is so trendy!! Don’t worry about “ruining” the sweater, it is really hard to make a mistake.

Being 100% cotton, Natura Just Cotton is the perfect choice for infants as it is soft to the touch and has the durability for frequent washing – not to mention, it’s great for dyeing!

A narrow lace hem adds charm to the simple Stocking Stitch top.
