Notes

Lovely comfy dress, wide and feminine.
This pattern is very easy and needs no reflexion : it’s perfect for a no-brain knitting, watching TV or chatting with friends.

I made the sleeves increases every 2 rows and began the front neckline 4 rows before sleeves separation.
About the length, I’ve added 8 cm to the body because of the cotton in the thread. After washing, the length is reduced and my dress is perfect!

I will definitely knit another one, maybe narrower but with the same modifications.

Casting on !
My gauge is 22s x 30r on 3.5 mm needles.

Broke my bamboo needles. They laid on the couch and I hadn’t seen them before I sat down… Have to find new ones but all shops are closed these days!

09.08.2013
Re-casting on 3.0 mm steel needles.

18.09.2013
Knitting endless Stockinette st. rounds… 70 on 168 rounds of body are done. There isn’t any descrease nor increase, this is knid of boring - but perfect to watch TV in the meantime.
