NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Diamonds Sweater Dress has an interesting construction with batwings sleeves incorporated into the body!

There are only 2 identical panels for the back and front pieces that are then assembled! The sleeves are worked at the end in continuous rounds into the sleeves opening.

For an easier understanding of how I designed this dress, I divided one piece into 3 sections. They are not workes separately. Both panels are worked as a single piece.

How much yarn do you need?

I used for this sample, Soave by Lana Mondial in color 846. This is a mix of Merino wool, Baby Alpaca and, microfiber.
Each ball has 50 grams and approximately 240 meters.
This particular yarn has more of a fingering weight yarn length. The thread is thicker, which gives a less wpi (wraps per inch) than a fingering weight yarn)

Here are some other yarn suggestions as I made a research to see which are better substitutes for this particular yarn in case this one is difficult to find:

Lang Yarns Novena
Lang Yarns Nova
Drops Sky
Katia yoga
Katia Lagom.
