Knitting For Olive | Rail Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Rail Dress combines classic charm with a fun, modern twist. Its soft stripes, flowing skirt, and sweet i-cord tie detail make it a delightful piece for everyday wear or special occasions.
Worked seamlessly from the top down in 1 strand of Heavy Merino, the dress features a round yoke construction that gives it a beautiful, even shape. You’ll begin by working back and forth to create the keyhole neckline before continuing in the round. The neckline and sleeves are finished with neat i-cord edges, while the adjustable ties add a lovely handmade touch.
A versatile design through and through, the keyhole opening can be worn either at the front or back, depending on your preferred look.
Our Rail Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 3 x Heavy Merino (Base Colour), 1 x Heavy Merino (Stripes), and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the 6-9 months pattern sizes. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern.
