The dress is built up from soft stripes in wool, mohair, silk and cashmere. The different yarn qualities create depth, texture and a living look, while the discreet gold thread gives the garment an exclusive touch. The result is a long dress with beautiful movement, a feminine silhouette and a clear couture feel.

Creative Collection is CosyMonday's most experimental design universe. Here luxurious yarns, textures, colour play and untraditional details are combined in designs that challenge the classic and leave room for creativity and personal expression.

Up With the Birds is knitted in the round from the bottom up. The dress is built up with textured stripe sections and harmonious yarn combinations that give the garment depth and character. The silhouette can be knitted with a straight drape or a slight A-line, depending on the look you want.

The pattern is written for you if you want to explore yarn combinations and texture. The stripe sequence is easy to adapt with your own colours or leftover yarn, so every garment gets its own personal look. Along the way you will learn textured knitting, building stripes, combining different yarn qualities, adjusting the silhouette and working with effect thread.
