A beautiful woollen dress ISPICA in a sligthly fitted style. Feel elegant for a party, shopping or work.
The skirt is worked from waistline and downwards in col. A in a decorative pattern, the upper part is plain knitting in reverse in col. B - there are notches at the front optimizing the fit. The sleeves are in a third colour worked in plain knitting from shoulder and downwards. An interesting work to realize this dress.
The pattern is available in English, German, Italian and Danish.
