The bees knees dress
This lovely garment is expertly knit in the round seamlessly from the bottom up, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels.
Sizes: The sizes provided correspond to the actual body measurements of the intended recipient, ensuring a perfect fit. The garment is designed with approximately 15% negative ease for a streamlined silhouette, ideal for achieving that chic, slim fit. The skirt length is versatile, ranging from just below to just above the knee, depending on the wearer's height. For those seeking a little more room for growth or a slightly looser fit, we recommend selecting a size that offers up to 2 inches of positive ease in the chest area (i.e., choose a size that is two inches larger than the actual chest measurements). Additionally, if you prefer a more generous sleeve design, the pattern includes basic instructions for modifying the sleeve for added comfort.
The charming blue sample showcased is beautifully knit using a high-quality wool yarn with a subtle mix of silk for an elegant touch. However, feel free to experiment with any wool or acrylic yarn you have on hand, as both will work perfectly for this design. For added flair, the underskirt is crafted from delicate fingering weight yarn, providing a lovely contrast to the outer layer while adding visual interest.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this pattern provides clear guidance and inspiration. Discover the joy of creating your own custom-fit garment that combines style and comfort—perfect for any occasion!
