Tunic or dress or top for little girl

I am not sure what's the correct word to name the latest project I knitted. It is a combination of dress, tunic and top. I had a very rough idea of what I am knitting once I started. It is done bottom up in the round, ties knitted separately and sewn on.

Cabled top with yoke in short rows

My first published pattern called Raspberry Wonder Cabled Top. It is a free pattern, available @ Ravelry here. I will be more than happy to receive feedback about this pattern, you are welcome to send an e-mail to ferbyscorner [at] gmail [dot] com

This was a project to learn short rows technique. I knew the technique but had never really used it.

Started with casting on 32 stitches that would be the length of yoke. I knitted 3 cables one bigger than another and after first few rows started shaping it. Short rows are worked just after each cable. The biggest cable thus has three times more rows than the smallest inside cable. Posting some work in the progress photos.











Action shot of 4 yo in her top length cabled Raspberry top. Tunic length can be seen in the other post here.

Little cabled tunic

Rather quick tunic in short rows and cables made with lovely Sublime Soya Cotton yarn. I love the feeling of that yarn and it is really nice to knit with. The finished garment is extremely soft and drapey. Unfortunately the yarn is discontinued.

Warm tunic dress

This is the case I have to admit that the white wool yarn had been hanging out in my yarn stash for really long time with no use. Not a bad yarn at all just somehow yarn quantity (I had just one ball), colour and composition never matched any project in my head. Then I bought self striping wool blend to test if I liked it. Literally in one moment there was an idea and the very next day there was a warm tunic dress for little girl.
