Cau Cau Surfer

Introducing the delightful Cau Cau Surfer, a versatile knit garment designed especially for little girls to wear at the beach. This charming shirt can also double as a stylish apron, perfect for layering over an Easter Sunday dress. Crafted from luxurious hand-dyed Cau Cau yarn from Araucania, which boasts a blend of 60% cotton and 40% silk, this shirt not only feels soft against the skin but also adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. The Cau Cau Surfer is not just fashionable but also highly practical. It can be worn as a standalone shirt or as a protective apron while your little one enjoys playtime in the sandbox. This makes it an ideal choice for parents seeking versatility in their children's wardrobe. This knitting pattern is perfect for beginning knitters looking to enhance their skills. If you are familiar with basic knit and purl stitches, you will find creating the Cau Cau Surfer to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. The project also includes a charming crocheted edge that requires a basic understanding of single chain and chain stitches, making it a great opportunity to learn something new. Sizes are designed to be loose-fitting, making it easy to layer over other garments. For a more fitted look, consider selecting one size smaller. The sizing is generous, ensuring comfort and ease of movement for active kids. For the three smaller sizes, three skeins of Cau Cau yarn will be enough. However, for the 2-3 year size, it’s advisable to purchase a fourth skein to ensure you have ample yarn. Plus, if you have leftover yarn, you can create a delightful matching headband to complete the look. Whether you're knitting for a special occasion or just for everyday wear, the Cau Cau Surfer pattern is a fun and creative project that will bring joy to both the knitter and the little girl who wears it.
