Noro Spring/Summer 2013 #4
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick
A breezy interplay of color and texture, Patrick’s banded dress is knit in many directions. The lower tier and waistband are knit side to side in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran and sewn to the skirt and bodice, each worked from the lower edge up in blocks of Cashmerino Aran and Noro Ayatori colorway #3. A button closure at the waistband ensures a figure-hugging fit.
