Seesaw Dress is a summer sleeveless knitted dress.
It’s designed with a V-neck, wide straps (perfect for covering bra straps), an A-line silhouette and a mix of Garter stitch on the yoke and Wave pattern on the bottom of the dress.
All increases for the bottom part are incorporated into the pattern repeat, allowing you to easily adjust the length – whether you prefer a tunic, short or knee-length dress.
Seesaw dress is great for in-city or vacay summer outfit.

Seesaw Dress is one more piece added to Seesaw patterns family, included Seesaw Top, Seesaw Sweater and Seesaw Cowl as well.

Seesaw dress is worked top down and seamlessly. Start by working the right and left back shoulders separately, shaping the neckline and joining both shoulders together. Continue working in Garter stitch to the underarms, shaping armholes with increases. Once the back yoke is ready, back yoke stitches are placed on hold. Left and right front shoulders are picked up separately while the V-neck is shaped with increases. Once the neckline is ready, both fronts are joined together and continued working in Garter stitch to the underarms. After, back and front yokes are joined together and worked in the round. Body is continued working first in Garter stitch after switching to Wave pattern, incorporating increases as you go until dress reaches the desired length.
The last touch – finish neckline and armholes with I-cord edges for a more polished look.
This pattern doesn’t include any charts, it’s all written row-by- row.
