KAKUN DRESS & SWEATER

Inspiration
When fate takes away from our lives wonderful hands that will no longer knit for us, we will be left with their knitted garments, which we keep as treasures in our closets. However, sometimes life surprises you and gives you the opportunity to have new people knitting for you. This is the story which inspired this pattern

If anything characterizes this pattern is its versatility to customize the pattern to your taste. You can knit both a dress and a sweater with long and short sleeves. Depending on the yarn, it will be a summery garment or also suitable for colder days. These are the options that the Kakun openwork knitting pattern gives you in a sweater or dress version, designed to give texture and relief to the garment.

The construction is simple, starting at the top and working your way up the body. This allows you to try on the garment and make decisions on the fly about what length you like or whether to go with a short sleeve or go for a long sleeve.
It is an ideal knitting pattern to get you started in the openwork patterns that let the light pass between the garments. Above all, suppor videos are provided throughout the pattern.

What does it mean to knit a garment?

A garment knitted by you is much more than just something to wear. It accumulates many sensations that will accompany you when you wear it: where, when with whom you knitted it, where you bought the wool, what you learned when you knitted it etc.

In the knitting pattern you will find the instructions to knit it in 10 sizes. 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) with final measurement of the tee after blocking of bust width of de 92 (100, 116, 124, 132, 140, 148, 164, 172, 180) cm/ 36.75 (40, 46.5, 49.5, 52.75, 56, 59.25, 65.5 68.75, 72)“.A positive ease of 10-20 cm/ 4-8” is recommended.
