A gorgeous dress with an intricate lace yoke. Worked in the round from the bottom up, with instructions to knit cap sleeved, ¾ sleeved and long sleeved options - all included in this one pattern making it versatile and great value for money.

• Knit yourself a cute short sleeved version in cotton for the summer and a long sleeved version in wool for the winter.

• The great thing about all of that Stocking Stitch (apart from making this project a nice easy TV knit!) is that there’s no need to buy a slip to wear under it - all of that stocking stitch covers your dignity!

• The pattern for La Primavera Top is also available here on Ravelry.

• Pattern also includes the instructions to knit the dress with two different hem finishing styles – a pretty folded picot or a rolled hem. The pictured dress shows the folded picot hems and cap sleeves, the pink top shows the rolled hems.

• You can use any Sport, fingering weight or 4 ply yarn for this dress. The pictured dress was made from a 100% cotton yarn – Barka Menta 170m/50g.

• The 32” size dress is pictured on a model with a 34” bust (3.5” negative ease) this is because it was a cotton yarn with a lot of stretch.

• The lace yoke pattern is in charted from only - a clear and easy to read chart.
