Augusta Dress
Augusta Dress is a simple dress in stockinette stitch with 3/4 length sleeves, a gathered yoke and a ruffle along the bottom edge. The dress’ loose fit provides the child with enough room to play and move. It is worked seamlessly from the top down using 1 strand of Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk.
You start working back and forth to create the keyhole opening at back-neck, before you continue in the round. I-cord edges finish both the neckline and cuffs.
