Elowen
Elowen is a Celtic-inspired dress, designed to showcase Mosaic Moon yarn.
Featuring a double-button circular garter yoke, lace sleeve and hem, Elowen is a versatile pattern which can be knitted in solid or semi-solid yarns, with options for contrast colours at hem, cuffs and yoke.
Written in thirteen sizes from 6 months to 12 years, Elowen comes with two different length options; tunic or dress length. Completely seamless, Elowen is available for 8ply and worsted/10ply yarns.
Gauge:
DK: 20 sts and 30 rows = 4 inches/10 cm in stockinette.
Worsted: 18 sts and 28 rows = 4 inches/10 cm in stockinette.
Please take the time to knit a swatch before beginning this project. It is also important to wash and block your swatch to ensure the best fit possible.
To ensure the best fit, please knit the size of your child’s chest measurement, rather than their age, and add or subtract length for their age. For example my 5yr daughter fits a 2yr size with a 21inch chest but it is knitted to the 5yr old length. There is approximately 2 inches (5cm) of positive ease included in this pattern for a relaxed fit which makes it great for layering.
The following includes the chest size .
6mth - 42.5cm / 17inch
9mth - 45cm / 18inch
12mth - 47.5cm / 19inch
18mth - 50cm / 20inch
2yrs - 52.5cm / 21inch
