Coastline Mini Dress

The dress is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, you knit the back piece, then pick up stitches to knit the right and left front pieces. The front pieces are joined, and the whole piece is put together under the armholes. To shape the dress, you make decreases at the bust and increases below the waist for the hips. Once the dress is the right length, the final step is to crochet single crochet stitches around all the edges. **Languages** Swedish, English **Sizes**  XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) **Level** 3/5 **Gauge** 25 stitches x 36 rounds in stockinette stitch (after block) **Recommended needles** Circular needles 3 mm / [US 2.5], 60-100 cm / [24-40 in] (depending on size), double pointed needles 3 mm / [US 2.5] for i-cord, crochet hook approx. 2.5 mm / [US B-1] **Yarn suggestions** Järbo Colin (65 % cotton, 35 % linen) 1 strand Yardage: 150m [164 yards] /50g Origin: - Amount: approx. 275 (300) 325 (350) 400 (450) 500 (550) g or  Sandnes garn Mandarin Petit (100 % cotton) 1 strand Yardage: 180m [142 yards] /50g Origin: India Amount: approx. 275 (300) 325 (350) 400 (450) 500 (550) g *The dress in the pictures is knitted with one strand of Colin, color greyish 28104.* Please note that the yarn requirements are based on an average-height woman, approximately 165 cm / [5’5”] tall.
