Measurement tips: Do all the measures holding up your knitting, otherwise your
garment may be too long.
Front piece: Cast on 19-21-23-27-29 sts on 2 needles size 20 with Vienna (use 2
needles to make the edge more stretchy). Remove 1 needle and continue in stocking
sts with 2 seam sts knitted in garter sts each side. Remember to check your knitting
gauge! When the piece measures 20 cm attach the tassels along the bottom edge.
This is done to give the correct weight in the dress when it is measured.
Tassels: 1 tassel = 2 threads of Vienna + 3 threads of Snow (= 5 threads) each 60
cm long. Fold the threads in half and pull the folded end through the outer st. of 1
side of the bottom edge of the dress making a loop. Pull the ends through the loop.
Attach another tassel at the other side and then distribute the rest of the tassels
evenly along the bottom edge (approx. 6 cm space in between). When the piece
measures 40 cm – read measurement tips – bind off 1 st at each side – see
decreasing tips = 17-19-21-25-27 sts. When the piece measures 60 cm inc. 1 st at
each side inside the seam sts as follows: Pick up 1 st from the previous row and K it
= 19-21-23-27-29 sts. When the piece measures 69-71-73-75-77 cm bind off 1-1-2-
3-4 sts each side for armhole. When the piece measures 86-89-92-95-98 cm put
the outer most 5-6-6-6-6 sts at each side on a thread for shoulder = 7-7-7-9-9 sts
left (= neck)
Neck: Continue in stocking sts with 2 sts of garter sts each side – at the same time
inc. 3-3-4-4-4 sts evenly on the first row – see inc. tips. NB: Do not increase over
the 2 garter sts each side. Continue to inc. on every other row as follows: 4-4-4-4-5
sts 1 time, 3 sts 1 time = 17-17-18-20-21 sts. Continue until the neck measures 30-
32-32-34-34 cm, then K 1 row from the wrong side and bind off loosely. To make
sure the edge doesn't become too tight, make a yo after each 3rd st (the yo’s are
knitted and bound off as sts).
Back piece: Cast on and knit as front piece (remember the tassels), but bind off 1 st
at each side when the piece measures 30 cm and inc. 1 st at each side when the
piece measures 50 cm. Bind off for armhole and continue until finished
measurements as for the front piece.
Assembly: Sew the shoulder seams tog. with invisible sts – see fig.1.
Sleeve: Pick up sts around the armhole and knit the sleeve from top to bottom – see
fig. Pick up 17-18-19-20-21 sts loosely on needle size 20 with Vienna. (do not pick
up any sts on the 1-1-2-3-4 sts bound off for the armhole on the front and back
piece). Knit in stocking sts. When the sleeve measures 2-2-4-6-8 cm insert a
marking thread at each side (marks where the sleeve has to be attached to the front
and back piece) – all measurements are now done from this point onward. Continue
in stocking sts with 2 seam sts each side in garter sts. At the same time when the
piece measures 2-2-2-5-3 cm bind off 1 st at one side – see decreasing tips. When
the piece measures 9-9-8.5-9-7 cm bind off 1 st at the other side. Continue to bind
off one side at a time a total of 2-2-2-3-3 times on every 7-7-6.5-4-4 cm (= 14-14-
13-8-8 cm in between the decreases on both sides) = 11-12-13-12-13 sts. Continue
in stocking sts until the piece measures 54-54-53-51-49 cm and bind off loosely. To
make sure the edge will not be too tight, make a yo after each 3rd st (the yo’s are
knitted and bound off as sts).
Further assembly: Sew the neck together in the outer part of the most outer st, but
at one side only sew up 8 cm so there will be a slit. Sew the side seams tog. in the
outer part of the most outer sts until 10 cm is left at the bottom part of the front and
back piece (=slit) – make sure the seam is not too tight. Sew the sleeve tog. up to
the marking thread – sew in the outer part of the most outer sts - and sew the
sleeve to the back and front piece where you bound off for armhole. Make sure the
marking thread on the sleeve fits to the side seam on the front and back so the
seam is not too tight.
Decoration buttons: Crochet on hook side 6 with Snow as follows: 2 ch, crochet 5 dc
in the 1st ch crochet and finish with a sl st in the 1st dc (=1st round).
2nd round: 1 ch, 2 dc in each dc and finish with a sl st in the 1st dc from beginning
off round.
3rd round: 1 ch, 1 dc in each dc and finish with a sl st in the 1st dc from beginning
off round.
4th round: 1 ch, 1 dc in every other dc and finish with a sl st in the 1st dc from
beginning off round.
Sew around the opening of the flower and pull tog – do not attach a button, as the
flower would otherwise be too heavy. Make one more and sew them on to the neck.
Hat:
Size: one-size
Materials: Snow
50 g colour no. 23, dark beige
50 g colour no. 32, dark lilac mix
50 g colour no. 33, red mix
50 g colour no. 34, rust mix
Crochet info: Replace the 1st tr on each round with 3 ch. Finish each round with a sl
st in the 3rd ch from beginning of row.
Stripes: See diagram M.1. 1 row in diagram equals 1 round on hat.
Hat: Crochet 3 ch. on hook size 7, in Snow 23-dark beige and form a ring with a sl
st. Continue to crochet as described below – at the same time making stripes as
described in M.1
1st row: Crochet 8 tr in loop.
2nd row: *1 tr in the 1st tr, 2 tr in next tr* repeat from *-* = 12 tr
3rd row: *1 tr in the 1st tr, 2 tr in next tr* repeat from *-* = 18 tr
4th row: *1 tr in the first 2 tr, 2 tr in next tr* repeat from *-* = 24tr
5th row: *1 tr in the first 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr* repeat from *-* = 30tr
6th row: *1 tr in the first 2 tr, 2 tr in next tr* repeat from *-* = 40tr
7th row; *1 tr in the next 4 tr, 2 tr in next tr* repeat from *-* = 48tr
Continue to crochet 1 tr in each tr until M.1 is finished. The hat now measures
approx. 23 cm from the top
Pom-poms: Make 2 big pom-poms with Snow yarn in 32 dark purple-mixac mix, 33
red-mix and 34 rust-mix. The pom-poms should be 8-9 cm in diameter. Attach the
pom-poms to the hat at the edge on each side (see picture).
