This darling sundress is knit with worsted weight yarn from the top down on circular needles (the only seaming is to attach the straps in the back) and slips right on without the need for any closures. Its flattering high waisted style has 12 gores accented by small mock cables. The hem employs a unique decorative bind off for the perfect finishing touch. Also included is a bolero style jacket whose curved edge is bordered with the same mock cable. It too is knit from the top down in one piece with no seams. The sleeves use the same decorative bind off which gives them a nice petite scallop. The decorative knit flower’s center acts as a buttonhole for the 1/2 ball pearl button
