The Turtleneck dress is a midi length style knit with a turtleneck, neckline and long balloon sleeves. The turtleneck is long and can be folded so it is always warm and no need to use a scarf. It is worked top-down in the Stockinette stitch pattern. Dress has slits on both sides, so it is extremely comfortable to wear, move freely, sit, walk or run. Because the body of this dress is worked straight it can be easily made longer (or shorter) and of course, more yarns should be purchased. Turtleneck dress is a timeless knit that fits well with leggings for wearing everywhere and anytime.
