Euphoria Dress English

Euphoria Dress Knitting Pattern (English)

Euphoria Dress is an oversized model with a slanting shoulder seam, deep v-neck and a long skirt. The structure and pattern is made by a slip stitch technique. The edges around the neck, at the bottom of the dress and at the armholes are made in double knitting.

The dress is knit top down, starting on the back piece making increases on each side, shaping the slanting shoulder. Then stitches are knit up along each shoulder seam and worked as the two front pieces. Increases towards the chest on each side shapes the v-neck. At the bottom of armholes and v-neck all pieces are put together and worked in the round, and finished in double knitting. The v-neck and armholes are also finished in double knitting.
