The Vanilla Dress has a striking all-over lace patterning, yet it’s surprisingly easy to make: it is worked from the top down, and is seamless. The Vanilla Dress begins with a provisional cast on and an I- cord neckline and continues with a yoke knit in the round after the back opening has been created. The back opening fastens with a crochet button loop. The sleeves, knit in the round from held stitches, are finished with an I-cord edge. Yoke and sleeves are worked in an eyelet rib pattern, that morphs into a wavy lace for the skirt. The skirt is finished with a double stitch bind off.
The dress in the picture is knitted with Knitting for Olive merino, color Camel Rose.
