Novemberknits - Komorebi Dress - Paper

Komorebi dress is a sleeveless V-neck dress, knitted from the top down. The dress has a straight fit without waist tucks. First, the upper part of the back piece is knitted, a few cm. of which in single moss stitch, before picking up stitches on each side to form the shoulder and neck cutout. Gradually, the stitches from the front and back piece are gathered, and the body is knitted in the round in stocking stitch on the same needle. Finally, the rib on the body is knitted on two separate needles, to form the slit in the side. Recommended help videos are listed at the bottom of the pattern.

Knit a swatch before you start, so you are sure that the knitting tension is correct. The dress should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 5-10 cm.
