Materials

  • A long piece of tan knit fabric Measure from your child’s shoulder to their knee and then double it. and add a couple of inches. That is how long your fabric needs to be. I just let my robe be the natural width of the fabric.
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Cut the extra couple inches off the end of your fabric, this will end up being the belt for the tunic. Set it aside. Fold the fabric in half.
  • Cut a small triangle out of the fold. Start with a small triangle and go bigger if you have to. Knit stretches like crazy and so a small triangle will be more than enough.
  • Pull the fabric over your child’s head and use the couple of inches of fabric to belt it at the waist. If you child has long hair, pull all of their hair up and leave a section down and braid it. If they have short hair, you can always buy a strand of fake hair at the craft store and attach it to a clip for a easy braid.
