About this pattern
Vera is fun to knit in drop stitch, which gives the fabric an open, airy look. The stitch is built from rows where you make a yarn over and then drop it on the following row, and the full sequence is written out on a separate page of the PDF so you can read it through before you cast on. The bell sleeves start with a wave pattern at the cuff, which has its own chart page.
The dress is worked in pieces (back, front and two sleeves) and sewn together, and the neckline is finished with a few rows of moss stitch. I always recommend making a tension square first, and there is a short guide to it at the back of the PDF.
Good to know:
Construction - worked in pieces (back, front and two sleeves) and sewn together. The neckline is picked up and worked in moss stitch
Substituting yarn - any yarn that knits to 23 sts x 30 rows over 10 cm in the drop stitch pattern
Happy Knitting!

Designed by Anette Eriksson
I believe making something with your hands changes the way you feel. In a world that constantly asks us to go faster, slow craft gives us permission to pause, create and enjoy the process. Through timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful fibres and thoughtful patterns, I hope to help others discover the calm and joy that making can bring.
