Lemontini Dress Knitting Pattern

$10.00

The Lemontini dress is a spaghetti strap, backless dress. It is slim-fitted at the top with hip shaping to make a subtle A-line skirt shape. It is worked from the top down, beginning with being worked flat lay for the underarm and back shaping. It is then joined in the round to create the body of the dress and skirt, ending in a 2x1 ribbing. The final step in the process is making an i-cord strap and back trim. While making the back trim, loops are made for the straps to be tied through.
