Malla knit dress is a contemporary vest dress with a minimalistic shape. The dress is worked from top down. The work starts by knitting the back yoke bottom up, starting with provisional cast-on. The work is then divided into two separate shoulders. The back is shaped with decreases and the front with increases. The work is joined under the armholes and the rest of the dress is knitted in the round.
