Now you can match your little Miss in this amazing “Floating Ribs for Mommy and Me” Set!
Would you guess that both dresses are knitted using “Sock Yarn”? Just because something is labelled “Sock Yarn”, doesn’t mean you have to make socks! It’s also fabulous for knitting dresses and other garments.
Dresses are super comfy. They have a close- fitting top, short sleeves, round neckline edge and flared skirt. The “ribby” pleats give a simple but modern look. Both dresses are knitted top down using a specific stretch yarn - Rico Design Superba Cotton Stretch Print superwash fine and soft cotton and wool blend: a colour mix of red, purple, green and blue shades. The knitting pattern is very easy to follow.
For this top down, seamless dresses, you begin with the neck. As they are designed with a turtleneck neckline, it is very easy to start.
The big advantage of working top down is that you can adjust the length of the sleeves and dress length to suit your needs.
