From the pattern notes: “Based on playing cards ‘Five’ is one of the three gardeners painting all the white roses red in the Queen’s garden. This design is loosely based on a tabard shape as worn by the gardeners. The extra length of the dress is achieved by knitting more rows between each decrease.”
