This wonderful nordic tank dress is reminiscent of the jumper dresses from my youth, but with a more flattering tailored style. The addition of cable crochet techniques provides an interesting focal point, and gives the overall appearance of a traditional winter garment. This cosy dress was inspired by warm woollens and jumper dresses, cable knitwear and chunky ribbing. Rated 3/4 star difficulty. Contains crochet (faux) cables using front/back post trebles and double trebles.
