Gyro

Introducing the Gyro dress: an oversized, stylish piece featuring bat sleeves that are perfect for any occasion. This captivating design is intricately knitted using two different yarn thicknesses and colors, showcasing a stunning center cable panel that gracefully crowns the dress. It concludes with a wide neck adorned with an I-cord bind off, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. The name Gyro is rooted in Norwegian heritage, making it a fitting title for this delightful dress or tunic, which can be made in separate pieces and then sewn or crocheted together, accentuated by a cozy garter stitch sleeve band. Crafted with luxurious pelt wool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, the Gyro dress utilizes the thicker Tinde yarn for the cable panel, while the thinner Sølje yarn is used for the side sections, ensuring both comfort and style.

Sizes: Available in XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL), the Gyro dress accommodates a variety of body shapes, making it suitable for UK sizes 6 (8, 10, 12, 14, 16-18, 20-22), US sizes 2 (4, 6, 8, 10, 12-14, 16-18), and EU sizes 34 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44-46, 48-50). The featured model showcases the design in size Small, giving you an idea of how effortlessly chic this piece can look.

Gauge: Achieving the perfect fit is made easy with the specified gauge: 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch using Tinde (COL 1) on a 3.5 mm/US 4 needle will result in a 10 cm square. Meanwhile, for the side sections, 24 stitches and 32 rows in stockinette stitch with Sølje (COL 2) using a 3 mm/US 2.5 needle will also measure 10 cm square.
