HALTER DRESS

Vogue Knitting Holiday 2006 #28
Design by Norah Gaughan

In the hands of the ever-inventive Norah Gaughan, the jumper grows up. The piece is worked horizontally from side to side with elongated dropped-garter-stitch gores shaping the skirt and offsetting the main body’s brocade pattern.
