Tamago dress

Tamago Dress Pattern is a beautifully crafted cocoon-shaped dress inspired by the Japanese word "tamago," which means egg. This innovative and stylish design captures the essence of comfort and elegance. If you love poncho-style garments, this pattern will be a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Featuring a straightforward structure, the Tamago Dress is meticulously constructed in a top-down fashion, seamlessly knitted in the round. Midway through the body, you’ll create flattering armholes by working flat, then continue knitting in the round until you reach the hem.

This versatile pattern is available in a range of sizes: S, M/L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. The finished measurements for the widest circumference are as follows: 128 cm (S), 147 cm (M/L), 155 cm (XL), 164 cm (2XL), 172 cm (3XL), and 181 cm (3XL). The length from top to bottom varies slightly with sizing, measuring 92 cm (S), 95 cm (M/L), 97 cm (XL), 99 cm (2XL), and 101 cm (3XL). This makes the Tamago Dress a flattering choice for diverse body types.
