Novice Dress

Novice Dress is a beginner-friendly and quickly knitted dress. The dress is knitted from top to bottom with raglan openings on the yoke. The dress is body-hugging, falls beautifully along the body and is very elastic. It has a negative ease of 40 cm. That is that if your waist measures 80 cm, you must knit a size M. The dress has slits in the sides, which make the dress more airy and give freedom of movement. If you want a looser dress, you can go up a size in relation to the excess width of the dress. You can also adjust the length according to the different sizes and knit it either longer or shorter. Note : yarn consumption increases if the dress is knitted longer or in a larger size.
