ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Eve Dress is a mini trapeze dress inspired by the iconic styles of the ‘60s. The sequin yarn gives the dress a drape and movement that’s truly unique—unlike anything I’ve experienced in knitting. Plus, with this dress, you’re guaranteed to shine on any occasion.
The Eve Dress is worked on circular needles with three strands of yarn held together. Start your work by knitting the back yoke, followed by the front yoke, and then continue with the body of the dress in the round all the way to the end.
Its simple design makes it an ideal project for beginners.

GAUGE
18 sts x 25 rows = 10 x 10 cm, in stockinette stitch, on needle size 4 mm (US6/UK8) with 3 strands of yarn held
together.
Make a swatch to achieve the same gauge as indicated above. Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches
on 10 cm = 4”, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a smaller needle size.
When knitting in the round, the gauge differs from reverse stockinette worked flat. If you want to make modifications to
the dress, here is the gauge in circular reverse stockinette: 15.5 sts x 23.5 r = 10 x10 cm.
