When the Stars Come Out

€12.50

When the Stars Come Out is a cozy, circular-yoke sweater dress worked seamlessly from the top down. This garment is a marvelous companion on cold days or a great layering piece for a chilly office.

The dress is worked in two colors of DK-weight yarn. The neckline, hem, and sleeve cuffs are adorned with a colorwork star motif. Short rows placed at the bottom of the yoke help create a well-fitting, rounded neckline. Waist shaping is used to create a fitted, feminine silhouette while the gently A-lined, tunic-length hem gives freedom of movement for the garment.

The pattern comes with two variations for sleeve length: full length (with colorwork) or tee (without colorwork). When the Stars Come Out is available in 10 sizes from XS to 6X; schematic of finished measurements is provided.

The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Only charted instructions are given for the colorwork pattern.
