A-LINE DRESS

Knit Simple Spring/Summer 2009 #8
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick

A chevron lace pattern worked from top to bottom gracefully scallops the waist and hemline. The waistband is faced with stockinette stitch so elastic ribbon can be threaded through. Shaping is achieved by changing needles—four different sizes in all.
