The striped pattern is simple yet eye-catching, showcasing alternating colors in stocking stitch that adds a playful touch to any wardrobe.

The measurements provided in the pattern ensure you achieve the perfect fit, with all dimensions listed in both centimeters and inches for your convenience.
Yarn Recommendations: For this design, a DK-weight cotton yarn is required, specifically with a gauge of 50 g = approximately 125 meters. The total yarn requirement for the dress ranges between 325 - 375 - 475 - 575 g, divided among three eye-catching colors: 125 - 175 - 200 - 250 g in color A (bright orange), 100 - 125 - 175 - 200 g in color B (vibrant cyclamen), and 100 - 100 - 125 - 175 g in color C (lively fuchsia).
