This dress is worked in the round from the bottom up in one piece. A 3 needle bind off is used to join the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up and worked down in the round. Stitches are picked up to add either the neckband or the hood. The only seam is a small one at the bottom of the front bands.

The optional cape is joined in using a 3rd needle and the front band stitches are picked up through both the cape and dress.

Yarn. Aran or DK weight can be used providing correct gauge is achieved.
