Sugar Plum Dress

Now that the back or front of the sugar plum dress is finished I thought you would like to see it.




This dress has a yoke and after all 4 pieces are knitted, the yoke will complete the dress. Such a pretty pattern and the front and back part of the dress are identical.

The yarn I am knitting with is a stunning 4 ply "cocoon" brand by Cleckheaton. I have fallen I love with this yarn as its so soft and holds the pattern perfectly. The material in this yarn is 70% merino wool and 30% nylon. Love the pink colourway, its so pretty.

Pattern is 8 rows, very easy to read and not complicated to follow.



Here is the dress from the knitting book. There is a jacket/coat in this style as well.



Pattern is taken from this knitting book.

Until next time....hoo roo
