Katie Summer Dress

Description

A flattering summer dress with a fitted bodice and A-line skirt worked in engaging, textured stitches. The back is fastened with delicate buttons and crochet button loops, and the neckline and armholes are edged with a simple round of garter stitch.

Rib band is worked first. Bodice and skirt are picked up up from either side of the rib band and worked in opposite directions.
