Introduction

The Soñadora Dress has mid-thigh length, short sleeves, and a V-neck. It has a loose fit, and the shaping occurs at the waistline and for the V-neck in the front of the bodice. The pattern features Stockinette stitch, and a Rosebud Trellis stitch lace for the bottom edge, the waist, and the sleeves.

It’s worked in the round, bottom up, until the armhole. There the stitches for the front and back are divided, and then the left front shoulder and right front shoulder stitches are divided too. All the sections will be worked back and forth from then on. The shoulder seams are joined, and then the sleeve sts are picked to be worked in the round.

Gauge

Stockinette Stitch in the round, after blocking:

31.5 sts x 43 rounds = 4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm)

The round gauge is most important for this pattern when working the Neckline Shaping in the front, so make sure to achieve it. If you end up with less rounds per inch than the original gauge, you will end up with a longer bodice. If you end up with more rounds per inch than the original gauge, you can work the pattern keeping in mind the total lengths mentioned in each section.

Take time to save time; check your gauge.
