The twirl dress is knit top down. The neckband stands tall and has a scalloped edge. The body is worked first, then the sleeves. The waistband is made with an I-chord bind-off in a contrasting color. The stitches for the skirt are picked up from the body of the dress, not the I-chord. They are doubled to create a full skirt effect. Skirt is then finished off with a hem.
