CONSTRUCTION
The dress is worked from top to bottom. Begin by working the ribbed neckband. Then, the upper part of the yoke is worked using short row shaping and, at the same time, the shoulders are increased at both sides. The Front and Back are knitted separately until the desired length at the underarm is reached. The stitches are then joined in the round and the dress is knitted to the desired length. The bottom band is ribbed, which includes side slits.
The stitches for the Sleeves are picked up along each armhole. The Sleeves are knitted straight out and finished with long, tight ribbed cuffs.
