Pattern Information

Front and back are worked sideways, back and forth, and in one continuous piece. Armholes and neckline are shaped as you go, while German short rows create wedges that further shape the skirt by adding more width. The flower stems are worked at the same time as the front and back, while the crochet flower heads are worked and attached after the dress is completed. Sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. Sleeve cuffs and neckband are both finished in garter stitch.
Please note that although the dress may appear to be a bit on the short side while you knit, it will lengthen and stretch when you wash it
