I’m not sure I’ve got the right yarn selected there. Lost the label for it long ago.

Moving the increases to the inside of the garter stitch border & changing them to mirrored increases.

Used slip stitch cast on on row 23.

Cut yarn after row 28 on front. Don’t cut for back. Join to work in the round on 2 circular needles (16” ea). (Had to k first row of body on back needle, making that my needle 1 for the body.)

Purl first st on each needle for “phoney” seams.

Straps are DC with a 4mm hook. The buttons for right through the stitches, so adjusting them as the straps stretch out will be easy.

I skipped the buttonholes on the crotch so I could use snaps.

Start dress Apr 8th.

Work in the round.
