The Lili dress body is knitted from the bottom up.
The body up until yoke and skirt are knitted separately and are then subsequently knitted together. The sleeves are knitted in the round using double pointed needles, and joined together with the body by knitting raglan decreases. The collar is knitted back and forth across the collar. You will knit short rows to make the collar ruffled.
The collar is then knitted together with the dress and finished with an I-cord edge.
