Knitted with Sport/5-ply weight cotton yarn Sunny Coast dress is perfect garment for summer fun. The dress is knitted in the round up to underarms, then front and back parts are knitted separately back and forth. Starting with longer circular needles you need to knit skirt part, form pleats and then switch to shorter circular needles to continue knitting the dress body. After top parts of back and front are finished, the shoulder seams are closed and the stiches are picked up for the neck finishing. The dress can be decorated with beads, buttons and other craft suppliers. Alternatively, the front of dress can be decorated with the knitted flower from my Knitted Flowers Collection.
The PDF pattern is easy to follow and suitable for advanced beginners. It consists of chart, written instructions and photo tutorial for pleats.
The pattern is knitted for all sizes from baby through teen.
