The idea for this dress started at around 3:30am, 2 days before the start of TNNA in June 2013. I had wanted something LOUD to wear so I mentally scanned my stash to find the perfect yarn. This Be Sweet Magic Ball yarn fit the bill perfectly! I jumped out of bed and started knitting immediately. The dress was completed at 1:30am, 4 days later – just in time to wear it for the final day of the show! An easy to knit (completely seamless and top-down construction, perfect for knitting on aeroplanes, in convention centres, at restaurants and in bed) and easy to wear, (layered over a tank and leggings), my dress was a big hit at the show and will continue to be my go-to outfit when I need a comfortable and fun dress to wear out loud!

To Fit Chest Circumference: 32 (34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44)”/81 (86, 91.5, 96.5, 101.5, 106.5, 111.5)cm
Note: This leaves between 4 – 6”/10 – 15cm of positive ease.
