Notes

Modified this dress to work with Kidsilk Creation.

Round 1: Cast on required number of stitches with Kidsilk Creation by separating the yarn slightly and picking up a couple of stands along the top edge
Round 2: Joining in round, switch to yarn B of your choice, I used the same yarn that I used for the bodice. Knit by wrapping yarn twice around needle as shown in the photo.
Round 3: Knit with Kidsilk Creation by picking up along the top edge as before
Repeat rounds 2 and 3 until you run out of Kidsilk Creation and then move on to bodice knitting flat as written.

Note: The increases in the first row of the bodice are DOUBLE increases as to turn one stitch into three stitches. I had to frog twice because I didn’t read it correctly and then didn’t have enough stitches to do the arms.

Wrapping yarn B twice on the needle adds much needed length to the skirt. I tried just with straight Kidsilk Creation and it created a short little poof. Cute but not what I was going for.
