Blustery Dress
Blustery Dress
Blustery Dress is an oversized and thigh-short stockinette stitch dress that is knitted from the top down by first shaping the back piece with german short rows, then you pick up stitches for the shoulders and knit the front yoke. When all these parts are finished individually, the body is knitted to the desired length in the round. You pick up stitches for the sleeves and shape these with german short rows, and finally you knit the neck where the fit is a half-long turtleneck.
