Grace Dress is a feminine elegant dress with a bow detail in the back. It has a fitted shape and will fit your body like a glove. The Borstet Alpakka yarn makes it cosy and warm. Dress it up with a pair of heels, or wear it with your favorite boots.

It has a ribbed neckline that is folded double. First you knit the neckline in the flat and after you have done the raglan increases you shape the back using German short rows. The body is knitted in stockinette stitch in the round. At the hem and cuffs you knit ribb and do a Italian cast off creating a stretchy edge. Lastly you knit the ribbon that will be inserted through the folded neckline and tied into a bow. You can also use a silk ribbon as in the photo or a scarf to create the bow.
