Hanke Dress - a knitting pattern

There’s something so cozy and awesome in the idea of a knitted dress, isn’t there?

The dress is worked in two ways: the lace yoke is worked bottom up, while the body and sleeves are worked from top to bottom. The dress is knit mostly in Stockinette stitch with a gorgeous lacy yoke. A-line shaping is not only comfortable to wear but flattering as well.
