Sunny Coast Dress

Summer is just around the corner and my new knitted design is off the knitting needles. Please welcome Sunny Coast Dress and my cute little model. :)

Knitted with Sport/5-ply weight cotton yarn Sunny Coast dress is perfect garment for summer holidays and fun. 

The dress is knitted in the round up to underarms, then front and back parts are knitted separately back and forth. After top parts of back and front are finished, the shoulder seams are closed and the stitches are picked up for the neck finishing. 

I decorated it with seed beads, tiny buttons and flower sequins. Alternatively, the front of dress can be decorated with any knitted flower.

The knitting pattern for the Sunny Coast Dress is available from my pattern stores:
