An easy-to-make construction balances nicely the allover lace stitch pattern of our Snowberry Dress: seamless and top-down, this design features leafy, lace snowberry boughs adorned with bunches of little berries all around the circular yoke. And should you prefer a less ornate look, instructions are given to opt out of the berries. The Snowberry Dress begins with a provisional cast on and an I-cord neckline, and continues with a yoke knit in the round after the back opening has been created, and a flared skirt. You have the option to make the dress either with short sleeve caps, or with ¾ length sleeves. The skirt and the sleeves are finished with an edging fringed with more snowberries.
