Anker’s Dress is worked top-down seamlessly on circular needles. The yoke consists of segments of rib with increases followed by classic raglan increases in stockinette stitch. The back of the neck has an opening with a small button. The skirt is worked with increases to make it A-line shaped. The sleeves are worked on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. Both the skirt hem and the cuffs on the sleeves are finished with a folded edge.
