For this knitted summer dress, I wanted to see if I could knit an entire dress seamlessly, as one piece. I did it!

The dress is knitted from the neck down. It features raglan-style shoulders. To add shape to the dress at the neck and waist, I used 2x2 ribbing.

I chose a self-striping yarn with short color repeats, and I think this was a good choice. You could probably use a solid color if this dress is going to be part of an outfit, but for a stand-alone dress, a multi-hued yarn is best, I think.
