Lady Emmeline

Evoking the texture of brocade, the two slip stitch patterns in this lovely coat dress provide a rich visual tapestry, yet are simple to execute. Wear- ing this sweet sweater, your little darling will feel like a princess who’s just stepped out of a fairy tale.

Construction: Begin with a provisional cast-on and work the bodice up towards the shoulders in one piece, dividing for the armholes. Then remove the provisional cast-on and work down to the hem using progressively larger needles to create a slight A-line shape. Sleeves are worked flat.
