Description
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Lilas Dress is a long, openwork dress that’s light and comfortable, perfect for summer. It also looks great layered over jeans with a t-shirt underneath for a more casual style.
The dress is knit from the top down back and forth using circular needles.
Start with the top, then switch to a larger needle size for the central section, and again for the ruffled hem at the bottom.
Finally, sew the back of the dress and attach the straps.
This pattern is suited for intermediate knitters.
