Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in twilight blue
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method for a stretchy edge.
2. Work the Turtleneck:
   • Switch to 2x2 ribbing (K2, P2) and work for 4 inches. This will create a snug and cozy turtleneck.
3. Transition to Body:
   • After completing the ribbing, transition to stockinette stitch (knit every row).
   • Begin incorporating the cable pattern as follows:
4. Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, *C6F (Cable 6 Front), K6; repeat from * to last 2 stitches, K2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.

   Continue to repeat these two rows until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge.

5. A-Line Shaping:
   • Begin A-line shaping by increasing 1 stitch at each end of every 6th row. You will do this 8 times, bringing your total stitch count to 136 stitches.
6. Continue in Pattern:
   • Continue working in the established pattern until the dress measures 36 inches from the cast-on edge.
7. Bind Off:
   • Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the dress.
8. Finishing Touches:
   • Seam the sides of the dress using a mattress stitch for a clean finish.
   • Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle.
