Oh My Kaftan Mini

**Construction** Worked from the top down with increases along the shoulder line. You will work short rows to shape the neckline. After completing the increases, the front and back are worked separately. Before adding the sequin yarn and larger needles, stitches are set aside at each edge for the armhole openings. The skirt is worked with drop stitches. The sleeve edges are worked separately at last. **Size guide** This garment is designed with a very generous ease.
