Dandelion dress

The Dandelion dress is knitted from the top down. The yoke is first knitted back and forth on the circular needles to create a split at the back of the neck. Then the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round on the circular needles. The skirt is also knitted in the round on the circular needles, and a beautiful dandelion pattern with increases is knitted here so that the skirt gets more width. The dandelion pattern gradually gets larger distances down the skirt – like dandelion seeds flying in the wind. The sleeves are knitted on double-pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. Finally, an i-cord edge is knitted along the neckline and the split.
