I've written and published over 70 patterns.
My Triple Top is the most popular to date.
I really wanted to extend this same pattern and elevate it to a dress!
Here is my Triple Dress.
I used the same yarn, because I'm completely obsessed with BILLOW!
At 100% Pima Cotton, it feels like a million dollars.
Not to mention it comes in 24 stunning colours!
Check them all out HERE.
Notes before you begin:
- This pattern is worked flat
- Front and back panel are worked flat as one piece, leaving a neck hole.
- The sleeves are worked flat back and fourth on each side.
- Then folded in half and seamed on the sides and under the arm and down the sides.
- Chain 3 at the beginning of each row DOES count as a stitch.
- This can be customized to any length (add more rows) or any width (add more chains to begin with).
- The fit is meant to be loose, there is an ease of +4"
- If you would like a tighter fit, size down.
- Make sure to follow this pattern by measuring the WIDEST part of your body (bust? thighs?, etc)
