The Charlotte pattern is a versatile collection that includes many design options for all times of year: tank in the summer and sweater in the winter. Length adjustments to the skirt can turn a sweater into a tunic or a long flowing dress. The ribbed back and neck create an elongated style, while the bottom is decorated with a delicate bell ruffle.
This pattern is a fast knit that is economical on yarn. All options are knit in a top down fashion, starting with a ribbed collar. Once the collar is finished the back and two front panels are each knit separately. Once each piece is at the correct length the pieces are joined together and the waistband and skirt are knit together in the round.
