Problem is fixed now - the pattern is online!

Amaryllis is a cosy, slightly oversized winter dress knit with two strands of yarn held together. Only one size available: 112 cm/44 in chest circumfence. Intended to be worn with 0 - 5 cm/0 - 2 in positive ease at upper body and a lot of positive ease at lower body.

This pattern is only test knitted by me thus I kindly ask you to notify me if you find any mistakes so I can update the pattern.

Required Yarn:
Fingering weight yarn (around 400 m/440 yd per 100 g) and mohair lace (around 210 m/230 yd per 25 g), about 1.700 – 1.900 m/1.860 – 2.080 yd each.
My yarns and usage:

  1. 1.770 m/1.936 yd Juniper Moon Farm Herriot Fine + 1.700 m/1.855 yd Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair
  2. 1.783 m/1.950 yd Colour Adventures Dia Light + 1.937 m/2.119 yd GGH Kid (I checked this several times but found no explanation why I needed so much more Mohair lace at this one; it might be due to the differing material composition without silk in it)
  3. 1.597 m/1.747 yd Zauberwiese Neuseeland Merino 4ply + 1.575 m/1.747 yd fairAlpaka Kid Mohair Silk (my gauge was a little off at this one, it is shorter than planned)

Of course it is possible to knit this dress with a single strand of a worsted weight yarn or anything else you can get gauge with. But I would recommend a comparatively light weight yarn as the dress might sag a lot due to a high total weight.
