Anchor's dress - Paper

Ankers Dress is knitted from the top down. The yoke consists of segments of rib followed by classic raglan increases. The yoke is first knitted back and forth on circular needles, creating a split in the neck. Then it is knitted in the round on circular needles. The skirt is knitted with increases, creating an A-shape. The sleeves are knitted on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. The skirt and sleeves are finished with a pleat edge.
