Support maintaining more than half an acre of land under organic cultivation when you make this adorable dress and hat using our Balance yarn, made with 50% organic cotton/50% organic wool and available in absolutely wonderful color choices. (The pictures show Turquoise as color A, Amber as color B, and Butterstone as color C.)

Sized to fit ages 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, and 3 years (written for the smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses), the pattern calls for 2 skeins in color A, 2 (2, 2, 3) in B, and 1 (1, 2, 2) in C. You'll need US Size 4 and 6 single-pointed needles for the dress and US Size 6 circular and double-pointed needles for the hat; you'll also need an F crochet hook and a tapestry needle. The gauge is 21 st=4" over Stst, and 30 rows=4" over Stst.

The pattern's written for an intermediate-level knitter, who will love the dress's ruffled edge, the hat's good sun coverage, and the funky stripes; the adult knitter's appreciation, though, just may be far outweighed by the sheer delight with which a little girl greets such a delightful combo!
