Bech

Introducing a stunning halterneck silk dress designed by Judith Bech, which features a high waist and a beautiful bare back. This exquisite piece inspired me to create a complementary shawl, loose sleeves, and a matching belt, perfect for accessorizing any elegant outfit. The versatile shawl can be styled in numerous ways; you can wrap it around your neck, shoulders, or bust, or even wear it upside down—whatever suits your unique fashion sense best! The belt, crafted with charming tucks, is not just practical; it can also be worn creatively around your neck as knitted jewelry. You can tie it or pin it together with a stylish brooch to complete your look.

Sizes Available: S/M (L/XL, 2XL)

Loose Sleeves Measurements: Cuff width: 25 (28, 32) cm; Width at bottom: 22 (25, 29) cm; Width at top: 32 (35, 39) cm; Sleeve length including cuff: 50 cm.

Belt Specifications: Length: 72 (87, 102) cm; Tie length: 50 cm; Width: 10 cm.

Gauge Information: 20 stitches x 28 rows in stockinette stitch should measure 10 cm square, ensuring your project maintains the correct dimensions.

Notes for Craftspeople: The loose sleeves feature elastic added to the top hem, ensuring they stay perfectly in place as you wear them. The shawl's elegant collar is shaped using short rows and finishes with a neat i-cord bind-off for a polished touch. The belt is ingeniously designed with a hem and five delightful tucks, all knitted using two circular needles held parallel—allowing for seamless transitions and a refined finish. Don't forget, on the last tuck, you will add stitches for the tie on each side, enhancing the belt's functionality and style.
