PATTERN:
See diagram A-1, diagram shows pattern from RS.
DECREASE TIP (applies to round yoke):
Dec alternately before and after all markers by K 2 tog.
---------------------------------------------------------
DRESS:
Beg by working the skirt sideways back and forth on circular needle. To give the skirt width at the bottom work with short rows. Then work the yoke in stockinette st with round yoke.
LOOSELY cast on 84-92-100-108-116 sts on 2 circular needles size 3 mm / US 2.5 with 623, rose mist. Pull out one of the needles (to avoid a tight cast on edge, or cast on on a thicker needle).
The whole skirt is worked in garter st, i.e. K all rows.
Work first row as follows (from waist down = WS):
K 12 sts, insert a marker, * K 8 sts, insert a marker *, repeat from *-* the entire row = a total of 9-10-11-12-13 markers, there are 8 sts after the last marker.
Move the markers along when working.
K 1 row over all sts from bottom and up.
Continue with short rows as follows (to avoid holes tighten the yarn at every turn before continuing):
* with pink K 2 rows (= 1 ridge) back and forth over all sts (1st row = WS), switch to rose mist, K 11 rows (= 5.5 ridges) back and forth over all sts. Continue with rose mist as follows: Work until first marker, turn and work back. Work until second marker, turn and work back. Continue like this until it has been worked up to last marker, turn and work back. K 1 row over all sts from bottom and up *.
I.e. 1 repetition (*-*) = 7 ridges at the top and 16-17-18-19-20 ridges at the bottom.
Repeat from *-* until piece measures approx. 60-64-68-72-76 cm / 23½"-25 1/4"-26 3/4"-28½"-30" in the shortest side (= top) – measure when piece is flat on the table – finish after 1 whole repetition, bind off all sts VERY LOOSELY with rose mist.
Piece measures approx. 137-155-175-195-217 cm / 54"-61"-69"-76½"-85½" in the longest side.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew tog skirt mid back – sew cast on edge against bind off edge, edge to edge to get a flat seam.
TOP:
Beg mid back and pick up 1 st in every ridge (i.e in every 2nd row in garter st) around the entire opening of the skirt on circular needle size 2.5 mm / US 1.5 with pink.
P 1 round, then K 1 round while AT THE SAME TIME adjusting no of sts to 144-153-162-171-180 sts. Then work diagram A-1 (= 16-17-18-19-20 repetitions on the round).
After A-1, K 1 round and P 1 round. Switch to circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 and rose mist and continue in stockinette st – AT THE SAME TIME on 2nd round dec 4-3-2-1-0 sts evenly = 140-150-160-170-180 sts.
When piece measures 7-8-9-10-11 cm / 2 3/4"-3"-3½"-4"-4½" (from where sts were picked up for top) work next round as follows: Work 32-34-36-38-40 sts, bind off 6-7-8-9-10 sts for armhole, work 64-68-72-76-80 sts, bind off 6-7-8-9-10 sts for armhole, work 32-34-36-38-40 sts.
Put piece aside and knit the sleeve edges.
SLEEVE EDGE:
Worked back and forth on circular needle. Cast on 56-59-62-65-68 sts on circular needle size 2.5 mm / US 1.5 with pink.
K 3 rows back and forth (1st row = WS).
Work next row as follows: bind off 3-4-4-5-5 sts, work 50-52-54-56-58 sts, bind off the last 3-3-4-4-5 sts.
Cut the yarn, put piece aside and work another sleeve edge.
YOKE:
Slip sleeve edges on to same circular needle as body where armholes were bound off = 228-240-252-264-276 sts. Insert 12 markers in the piece, 19-20-21-22-23 sts apart.
Continue with rose mist and in stockinette st – round still beg mid back.
Work 4-4-6-6-8 rounds before dec beg.
On next round dec 1 st before all markers - SEE DECREASE TIP. Repeat dec every 4th round 6-7-7-8-8 more times and then every other round a total of 3 times for all sizes = 108-108-120-120-132 sts.
Switch to circular needle size 2.5 mm / US 1.5. Now work an elevation in back of neck, back and forth on needle starting from mid back as follows: K 8 sts, turn and P 16 sts on return, turn, K 24 sts, turn, P 32 sts, continue by working 8 sts more for every turn until a total of 64-64-80-80-96 sts have been worked, turn and K until marker mid back again (i.e. 32-32-40-40-48 sts).
Then K 1 round over all sts while at the same time dec 22-16-22-16-22 sts evenly = 86-92-98-104-110 sts.
Switch to pink and K 1 round, P 1 round, K 1 round, P 1 round, then loosely bind off with K.
The entire dress measures approx. 54-59-65-70-75 cm / 21 1/4"-23 1/4"-25½"-27½"-29½" up to shoulders.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew sleeve edge tog in outer loops of edge st and sew opening under the sleeves, edge to edge to avoid a chunky seam.

Voor de rok rechte breinaalden met knop gebruiken. Per baan: 2 nld rose;11 nld rose mist; 8-10-11-12-13 verkorte toeren rose mist, begin met keren bij de eerste markeerder, daarna steeds een markeerder opschuiven; 2 nld rose mist.

20.07.2022 - 09:39I knitted this dress 3 times as my daughter grew, first time was in green and automn colors, was the best.
26.10.2021 - 09:48Apparently I am not the first person to be totally confused with this pattern. I am an experienced knitter yet I found myself undoing my knitting twice to finally make some progress after adjusting the instructions . Will I make this little dress again? That’s a definite NO!
18.10.2021 - 03:12Non capisco come fare le diminuzioni per lo sprone: nel consiglio per le diminuzioni dice di lavorare 2 maglie insieme alternativamente prima e dopo i segni, ma nella spiegazione dice al giro successivo diminuire 1m prima di ogni segno. Bisogna lavorarle assieme una prima e quella successiva dopo o per tutto un giro prima e per tutto il successivo giro di diminuzioni dopo? Grazie.

Buonasera Elisa, al primo aumento, deve aumentare prima dei segnapunti, al secondo aumento, aumenterà dopo i segnapunti. Buon lavoro!
09.02.2021 kl. 21:47Hi there, I so want to make the twirly girly dress I'm a fairly accomplished knitter, the dress looks fairly straightforward but I've just read the pattern and I feel ' thick' now, couldn't work it out, probably doesn't help that I've not knitted with circular needles, I've tried and hated it, I have really long neeles do you think I could use them, thank you regards Kate Ferrington 💐
08.08.2020 - 18:19DROPS Design answered:
Hi Kate, The reason we recommend circular needle is due to the number of stitches. It is possible to work this pattern with straight needles as long as you are careful not to lose stitches off the end. Happy knitting!
10.08.2020 kl. 06:50Hi, I am confused about the top part of skirt.the pattern says we work back and forth gradually from each marker and then stop after last marker.the pink yarn makes 2 rows and 1 row for last knit that goes all the up and down then how would it create 7 ridges?
17.06.2020 - 07:35DROPS Design answered:
Dear Leena, the top part of the skirt is the end of the rows, seen from RS, ie after you have worked the short rows, you will have worked 7 ridges on the top (= 1 ridge with pinkt + 5,5 ridges with rose mist + 1 row from the bottom to the top (= half a ridge) after the short rows = there are now 7 ridges towards waist. Happy knitting!
17.06.2020 kl. 08:30Pigen som jeg skal strikke til vil helst have kjolen strikket op i ren bomuld. Der er ikke noget der svarer helt til løbelængde og strikkefasthed, hvad kan I foreslå? Måske cotton 8/4 Lammy eller Safran?
12.05.2020 - 12:25DROPS Design answered:
Hej Karen, DROPS Safran og DROPS Loves You #7 tilhører begge samme garngruppe A og kan strikkes på samme strikkefashed som DORPS Fabel. Sørg for at du får samme strikkefasthed som der står i selve opskriften, for at få de rigtige mål. God fornøjelse!
15.05.2020 kl. 08:56Forstår jeg det rigtigt, at det egl. Er vrangsiden af skørtet, der bliver retsiden. Således at striberne ikke bliver “rene og tydelige” striber? Vh Pia

Hej Pia, du kan vælge den side af arbejdet du synes bedst om, bare du sørger for at få vendepindene=vidden nederst i nederdelen. God fornøjelse!
16.10.2019 kl. 15:22Non ho capito l\'ultimo passaggio \"Proseguire con il colore foschia rosa e lavorare 1 giro a dir, 1 giro a rov, 1 giro a dir, 1 giro a rov; intrecciare poi le m a dir, senza stringere troppo il filo.\" Stavo già lavorando con il colore \"foschia rosa\", cosa devo fare? Grazie

Buongiorno Lulù. Abbiamo corretto il testo. Deve lavorare con il colore rosa. Buon lavoro!
03.08.2019 kl. 21:37It would be great to get a long sleeved version of this! how much extra wool would be required for this? any suggestions on how many stitches and length would be much appreciated :)
