Notes

I was not quite sure which size to knit, but I decided to knit the bigger one (xl). Because I wanna have a cozy, comfy dress. It turned out really comfy.

Knitted little pouches as swatches. The nail foil was a gift. Isn’t it neat?

TecSpecs / Modifications

  • knitted CO instead of long-tail and back-loop CO
  • sleeves:continued decreasing until ribbing (total of 9 decrease rounds)
  • 8 rows/rounds for ribbing
  • 8 rows between decreasing for the sleeves
