With its flattering open back, deep square neck, lace straps and relaxed shape, Darling Dress is a perfectly refined compromise between comfort and elegance. It is a dress to feel both charming and casual.
Darling Dress is worked in one piece, top-down. It starts with two straps, then the front neckline and arm lines are shaped. After that, the back is started and the body is worked in one piece to the hem. At the end, the stitches are picked up from the edges and finished using Picot Bind Off method. Instructions for the straps are represented with a chart. The pattern includes instructions on how to modify the length of the dress and adjust the width of the body. In such case, you will need accordingly more or less yardage.
Darling Dress is part of Sydney Summer Knits ebook. See the ebook preview: Booklet
About the ebook: Sydney Summer Knits collection contains four brand-new, unique summer patterns inspired by my new home – Sydney. This collection is my tribute to its inspiring beauty. You will find here three tops and one dress, each design mirroring a different feature of the city. All the designs are created in the style closest to my heart, which I dare to name modern romanticism. The designs are made using a variety of techniques. You will work from the bottom up, top-down and sideways, and use both basic and sophisticated stitch patterns.
The book also includes short articles about the city and my inspirations, recommended places, reviews of the chosen yarns, refined lists of yarn substitutions, and knitting tips.
