Notes

Following notes by @knitwhitty: Using sock yarn, smaller needles, knitting in the round, and knitting XL to get smaller size.

Used 7 needles in the round, (included the 6 knit stitches on each side)
5 lace pattern repeats
1 purl ridge pattern “
3 lace pattern “
1 purl ridge “
2 lace pattern “
1 purl ridge “
1 lace pattern “

Change to size 6 needles:
1 lace pattern “
1 purl ridge “
1 lace pattern “
Rows 1 and 2 of purl ridge
Then separated for front and back, followed pattern as written.
Knit sleeves on size 6 needles. Skipped eyelets on the sleeves.
Joined pieces before blocking with size 6 needles. Did 2 rounds knit, 2 rounds purl, then 3 stitch ICORD bindoff.

Stitched seams. Steam blocked. Lovely dress.

If I ever do this again, would knit top-down, in the round, raglan sleeves picked up…but I’m never going to make this again…
