TURN AROUND is a simple and elegant dress with beautiful I-cord finishing on all edges. This classic dress is knitted seamlessly from the top down, making it easy to adjust the length to your preferences. If you are looking for that wardrobe staple dress, this is it.

First, you work the shoulder straps and then the front and back pieces separately before joining them in the round for the body. The body is worked in the round, and the hem is finished with a slit at the back. The neckline and armhole edges are finished with I-cord to give the dress that effortless chic look.
