MALTA DUET

Malta Duet is a versatile seamless knitting pattern that allows you to create three different garments from one design: a Top, a MIDI Dress, or a MAXI Dress.

The garment is worked seamlessly from the top down and features an elegant saddle-shoulder construction, a softly shaped boat neckline, and a straight silhouette. An adjustable drawstring casing at the waist allows you to customize the fit and creates a beautifully defined waistline. Short-row shaping is used for a comfortable and refined fit.

The pattern includes detailed stitch-by-stitch and row-by-row written instructions, supported by charts and step-by-step video tutorials, making the construction easy to follow even if you are new to garment knitting.
