This dress is perfect for trans-seasonal wear, with a warm skirt and the ability to wear the top as a lace top or with layers underneath. It is worked in 8ply yarn, I recommend Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 8ply for its soft yarn and its muted but warm colour palette, with a 4mm hook. All terms are in Australian/UK terminology. Working in two colours, your will need approximately 1000m of colour 1, and 1400m of colour 2 (this is 3 and 4 balls of BWM Classic 8ply), if only 1 colour is used you will only need 6 balls. This pattern is made to fit a waist of 80cm and a bust of 100cm. The gauge for this pattern has a 10cm square of 22x25. A 40cm zip is also required for this pattern
