Passap machine knitting instructions for a halter neck dress knit a striped pattern. The dress is knit in two pieces from the top down, in half tubular stocking stitch with short row shaping. The front part has a sew and cut neck line. Borders, belt and neckbands are knit in “long stitch” CX/N.

The pattern calls for 580 g cotton yarn (300m per 100g): 340 g shadow effect, 140 g green and 100 g red and 4 buttons

Test square (stocking stitch): 100 sts = 33 cm, 100 rows (RC 100) = 22 cm

The stitch sizes given in this model book are for the earlier “Pinkie” Passap. Add an extra half stitch size to get the appropriate stitch size for the later DM80 and E6000 machines.
