North Sea Dress

North Sea Dress is a classic winter dress with a little bit of extra width in the skirt and cables running down the front. The dress is worked in the round from the top down using 1 strand of Heavy Merino. You start shaping the neckline with short rows, continue with the yoke and raglan increases while working the charted cables on the front at the same time. Sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch. Ribbed edges finish the neckline, body and sleeves.
