Osku

Introducing the Osku Dress, a stunning piece inspired by the old Irish word for "friend." This relaxed and stylish dress features large sculptural cable patterns that beautifully adorn its design, culminating in an elegant I-cord neckline. To ensure the cables take center stage, the sleeves are crafted entirely in stockinette stitch. The innovative construction of this dress involves knitting the body from the bottom up in the round, incorporating thoughtful shaping for the hips and bust up to the armholes. The sleeves are unique, as they are worked top down, with the only seams being at the shoulders, providing a flattering fit and a seamless wearing experience.

Osku is made with the luxurious Silky Wool by Elsebeth Lavold, known for its soft texture and excellent drape, making this dress not only a visual delight but also a comfortable choice for any occasion. For a coordinated look, consider pairing the Osku Dress with the matching Piran Cowl, which complements its aesthetic beautifully.

Gauge: The pattern calls for a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rounds/rows in stockinette stitch using a 4 mm/US 6 needle, measuring 10 cm square after blocking to ensure your finished product matches the intended size.

Notes: Keep in mind that the body of the Osku Dress is worked in the round from the bottom up, while the innovative sleeves are knitted top down. Only the shoulders require seaming, making this pattern easier and more enjoyable to knit. Experience the joy of creating your own Osku Dress, a beautiful blend of comfort and style that’s perfect for any wardrobe.
