Aubade

Introducing the Aubade Dress: a delicate and romantic knit dress featuring an exquisite lace pattern and thoughtful finishing details, making it the perfect choice for special occasions, holidays, or any celebration where you want to feel beautiful and confident.

**Construction Details:** This stunning dress is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. Starting with a flat construction, it transitions into the round with a unique circular/raglan hybrid yoke for a flattering fit. You'll pick up stitches to create a button placket and utilize an applied I-cord for a sleek neckline finish. The design features a graceful A-line skirt, which showcases an easy lace pattern at the hem — complete with both chart and written instructions to suit every knitter's preference. Once the skirt is completed, stitches for the sleeves are put on hold, and you’ll continue with the same lace motif at the cuff, finishing with a refined I-cord bind off for added elegance.

**Skills Required:** This knitting pattern is suitable for intermediate to advanced knitters eager to enhance their skills. You'll need to be comfortable with various techniques, including the long-tail cast on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, and knitting in the round. Additionally, you'll learn how to create an applied I-cord edging (detailed instructions are provided in the pattern), yarn over techniques, and work a simple lace pattern. If you’ve experience picking up stitches and binding off, you’ll find this project both rewarding and enjoyable. **Rest assured, both chart and written instructions are included for your convenience, ensuring that you pick up every stunning detail of the Aubade Dress.**

Embrace your creativity and make the Aubade Dress a standout addition to your knitting repertoire, perfect for gifting or wearing to your next event!
