Barbroe Dress is our Christmas dress 2022. The dress features an allover eyelet patterning, a wide medium- length skirt and 3⁄4 length sleeves. Barbroe Dress is worked from the bottom up in the round with 1 strand of either Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk.
You start with the sleeves and then continue with the skirt up to the underarms where sleeves and body are joined on one needle. The yoke is worked in the round up to the back opening, and then the last part of the dress is worked back and forth. The back opening is closed with a button and crochet loop. The neck opening is finished with a folded edge in stockinette stitch that mirrors the folded edges on the sleeves.

The Barbroe stitch pattern is charted only.
