Oráiste

Introducing Oráiste, the exquisite oversized straight dress inspired by the vibrant hue of orange, known as "Oráiste" in Irish. This seamless dress features intricately designed cable detailing that starts at the sides, elegantly transitioning from the armhole and continuing along the raglan decreases to the neckline. Both the body of the dress and its stockinette sleeves are expertly knitted in the round, culminating in a stylish hem at the bottom. Oráiste is finished with an I-cord crew neckline, providing both comfort and sophistication. For added versatility, it includes a fabulous double cowl that can also be styled as a chic belt around your hips. Crafted from the airy Norwegian combed wool yarn Ask from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, this dress is not only a beautiful addition to your wardrobe but also a pleasure to knit.

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch using a 3.5 mm/US 4 needle, which measures 10 cm square after blocking. The cables measure about 6 cm across with 16 stitches after blocking, ensuring your finished project aligns with the intended design.

Notes: The Oráiste dress is constructed seamlessly in the round, starting from the bottom and working upwards. The unique cable patterns on the sides are skillfully divided and transitioned out of the armhole before shaping occurs, adding a distinctive flair to this lovely knit.

Length Adjustment: For those looking to customize their fit, you can easily adjust the length of the dress before the cable move, right before the raglan armhole on the body, while effortlessly continuing in the established pattern.

This delightful pattern not only showcases your knitting skills but also allows for personal expression through customization. Perfect for knitters of all levels, the Oráiste dress is a timeless piece that you can enjoy wearing for seasons to come. Discover the joy of knitting this stunning oversized dress today!
