The feminine knitted dress Saimi (Saimi = Finnish woman’s name) is worked in the round, from the bottom up to the armholes, then the upper parts of the front and back are worked separately, back and forth.

Knitted from Novita Nalle yarn, the knitted dress can be worn anywhere: at home, in the city and at winter festivals. Versatile knits are the best!
