The most charming dress of the summer is worked in a combination of knitting and crochet. The decorative squares around the waist are crocheted first, after which the top is crocheted. The stitches for the lower body are picked up from the squares and the body is knitted down from there. The hem features a simple lace pattern. Worked using the Novita Sointu yarn, the Hilda dress is soft as cotton and drapes beautifully. Crochet a Mainio hat to go with the dress and you’ve got the cutest summer look!
