Free Knitting Pattern for a Close-fitting Dress.
This free knitting pattern outlines how to knit a close-fitting dress with a deep V-neck, using a yarn that creates an interesting texture. The dress is constructed in separate pieces (back, front, and two sleeves) worked from the bottom up. The pattern utilizes both reverse stocking stitch and regular stocking stitch to create different textured sections within the garment. It begins with a K2, P2 rib border and incorporates shaping for the sides, armholes, shoulders, and the V-neck on the front piece. The sleeves are also shaped.
Skill Level: Intermediate. The shaping for multiple areas (sides, armholes, shoulders, V-neck), combined with working in both reverse and regular stocking stitch and referencing a missing template, justifies this skill level.
