Notes

Weight of yarn used for:
bodice: 37 g,
body / skirt: 146 g,
hem: 7 g.
I used up all the multicoloured yarn of the body by the time I finished working the rounds of skirt so I knitted the hem with the yarn of the bodice.

Really quick knit without any complication.

In the skirt after every 10 cm (4”) I increased 4 stiches in the following way (to add a slight A-line):
K21, m1L, k43, m1L, k42, m1L, k43, m1L, k21 = 174 sts.
K22, m1L, k43, m1L, k44, m1L, k43, m1L, k22 = 178 sts.
K22, m1L, k45, m1L, k44, m1L, k45, m1L, k22 = 182 sts.
K23, m1L, k45, m1L, k46, m1L, k45, m1L, k23 = 186 sts.
K23, m1L, k47, m1L, k46, m1L, k47, m1L, k23 = 190 sts.

Measurements of blocking dress:
I tried to mot stretch it too much vertically since its weight will do so when worn.

  • from shoulder to shoulder (not counting the sleeve caps): 30 cm = 11.8”,
  • from shoulder to pick-up: 17 cm = 6.7”, at pick-up: 72 cm = 28.3”,
  • length of skirt (from pick-up to hem): 65 cm = 25.6” (I knitted the reqiured 20.25” from pick-up.),
  • at hem: 88 cm = 34.6”.
