Aibell
Introducing our beautifully designed balloon-shaped dress, inspired by the enchanting Celtic Goddess of Munster, who carried a magical harp. This unique garment is shaped by intricate cable patterns that create a stunning A-line silhouette, beautifully mirrored on the body. On the front of the dress, you’ll find right-leaning cables gracefully beginning at the hip, while the back features elegantly crafted left-leaning cables, adding depth and texture to the overall design. The versatile cowl can be styled in multiple ways: wear it as a high cabled collar, a chic belt, or even let it hang loosely for a relaxed look. Adjust the length to suit your personal style—whether you prefer it to drape down, slightly pulled up, or as a stylish tunic with the rib turned for added flair.
Yarn: This stunning piece is made using Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk’s Tinde Pelsull, a luxurious yarn composed of 100% pelt wool. Each 100g skein boasts a generous 260 meters, perfect for creating cozy garments that exude warmth and comfort.
Gauge: For this pattern, achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch after blocking, measuring a precise 10 cm square. This ensures your dress will fit beautifully and maintain its intended shape.
Notes: Personalize your dress by shortening it up to 7 cm (2.75") before the armhole to move the cable placement higher, or reduce the rib section by 5 cm (2"). You have the flexibility to adjust the length in the stocking stitch area as needed to match your desired style and wearing preference.
Cowl dimensions: The cowl measures 60 x 16 cm and requires approximately 170 meters of yarn to complete. This adaptable design not only enhances your wardrobe but also provides an engaging project for knitters looking to showcase their skills and creativity.
With its intricate cable designs and versatile styling options, our balloon-shaped dress pattern is a must-have for any knitting enthusiast looking to create a unique statement piece! Explore our collection of free and paid knitting patterns to find your next project today.
