Sweet Mochi
Bobblicious! This delightful dress draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese treat known as "bobblicious," featuring an array of pastel-colored, pillowy spheres that evoke the charming essence of these beloved confections.
This beautifully designed dress is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning flat before transitioning into the round, and showcases a unique circular/raglan hybrid yoke. The flutter sleeves feature an adorable bobble bind off that adds a playful touch and texture. After successfully binding off the sleeves, an A-line skirt is created in the round, culminating in yet another lovely bobble bind off at the hem for a cohesive finish. To complete the look, an applied I-cord is crafted for a polished neckline finish that enhances the overall aesthetic.
SKILLS REQUIRED: This pattern requires proficiency in a variety of knitting techniques, including long-tail cast on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, knitting in the round, and I-cord edging. The pattern also includes instructions for applied I-cord (explained within the pattern), yarn overs, and picking up stitches. The bobble bind off technique is also thoroughly explained and includes a link to a video tutorial for beginner knitters.
