Notes

An Autumn Harvest Dress with pumpkins and a little blaze of color just under the waist much like the tiny batches of bright reds and yellows seen among the fading fall colors. Cast on 102 stitches reducing to 36 at the waist to create a full skirt.

The bunny was made with Filatura di Crosa Zara Latte yarn.

UPDATE: The original chart and directions did not include enough details, so I have revised a bit. Both new charts are designed for knitting in the round. If you prefer to knit flat, add a stitch at the beginning and one at the end for seaming. The second chart, titled Revision 1, is an updated version for knitting the original dress in the round. It begins with a long tail cast on of 100 stitches and 5 repeats of the chart. Row 1 is the cast on and the next two rows are knit before joining in the round on row 3. Waist decreases begin on row 26 as in the Seasonal Dresses pattern. A smaller cast of 80 stitches and four chart repeats would also work.

The last two pictures show a revised version, chart titled Revision 2, with a three row garter stitch hem. It begins with a long tail cast on of 100 stitches with the next 4 rows knit before joining in the round on row 6 of the chart. I prefer a three garter ridge hem to prevent curling. Waist decreases begin on row 31 of this chart(follow as you would on row 26 of the Seasonal Dresses pattern). A smaller cast on of 80 stitches and 4 repeats of the chart would also work.
