Carolyn – The Dress

Wear the dress on its own, with the belt at the waist, or with Butterflies over the shoulders. Together with the scarf and one of the clutches from the capsule, it becomes a whole outfit.

• A knitted dress you wear all winter
• A construction that is easy to follow, top-down
• The choice between a slight A-line and a straight, architectural shape
• A garment that combines with the rest of the capsule

• Pattern in mobile format, step by step with tick-off boxes
• All five sizes gathered in one file
• Options: Odino stripe at the waist, straight shape, short belt and long belt for a bow
• A4 print sheet and notes page

"She didn't dress to be seen – she dressed because it was part of who she was." Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is the inspiration behind the capsule. The dress is built on the same thing: clean lines and nothing that shouts. The sleeve stitches are doubled in a single round, and from there the shoulder gets its soft line.

The Carolyn Capsule is CosyMonday's most exclusive collection. Inspired by the principles behind a capsule wardrobe, the series consists of garments and accessories that can be combined with each other and with the rest of your wardrobe.

Clean lines, soft silhouettes and luxurious yarns. Fewer but better garments – handmade to be worn for many seasons.

The dress is knitted in the round top-down. The high neck is knitted in ribbing and folded double. The sleeve stitches are doubled in the dividing round, and the raglan is increased in two phases – first only on the body, then on the body and sleeves together. The body gets slight waist shaping and a soft A-line down towards the edge. The sleeves are wide and finished with ribbing.

• Top-down raglan in two phases
• Waist shaping and slight A-line
• Knitting with fur yarn
