Bloom Striped – The Dress is knitted top-down. The bodice is worked in half brioche, which gives a stretchy, close-fitting shape. The skirt is increased gradually and knitted in wide colour stripes that create volume and movement. Finally you crochet a decorative edge that gives the dress a personal, handmade touch.

Bloom Striped – The Dress is inspired by meadows in flower, summer light and the free colour joy of the 1970s. The close-fitting bodice is balanced by a light, floating skirt that moves naturally, while the hand-crocheted edge adds a personal touch that makes every dress a little unique.
