About the construction: The Lumi dress is knitted from the top down. First, the back piece is knitted flat with increases on every row. Then, shoulder stitches are picked up, and the neckline is shaped with the increases. After that, the front is worked flat to underarm. Both pieces are then joined to work, and the body is knitted seamlessly in the round. Sleeves are knitted in the round seamlessly. The dress is worked on the right side with knit stitches, and in the end, the dress is turned inside out.
