YARN = balls x 50 grams each one of MATERA by LAINES DU NORD.
Main color (col. P): 7 (8-9) balls (col. P = grey, cod. 16)
Color 1: 2 (2-3) balls (col.1 = mustard, cod. 6)
Color 2: 1 (1-2) balls (col.2 = orange, cod. 7)
Color 3: 1 (1-2) balls (col.3 = cream, cod. 5)
CIRCULAR NEEDLES = 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm points; 100 cm and 60 cm cables
OTHERS = darning needle, stitch marker, pins, scissors, tape measure.
SAMPLE
10 x 10 cm =22 sts. and 32 r. in stocking st. using 4.5 needles. If needed, to get the right tension, use different size needle.

SKILL LEVEL: Experiences
MEASURES

Measures of dress shown by the picture (size M)
Chest circumference: 108 cm
Total heigh: 78 cm
Side length (from beginning of armhole to lower band): 57 cm.
Sleeves length (from beginning of armhole to lower band): 32 cm.
Circumference of head of sleeve: 45 cm.
POINTS USED
Rib 1/1 (in round)
1st round and next rounds.: (k1, p1) rep. across the entire round.
Stocking stitch in round
1st round and next rounds: knit.
Decrease: k2tog.
Make one: using left needle, lift the yarn between right and left needle, inserting the needle under the yarn from front to back, then knit it through back loop.
Invisible closing in round: slip 1st st. from left to right needle. Pass 2nd st. from right needle over 1st st. and drop it. After fastening the work, pull 2 yarns together (yarn from ball and cast-on end); the stitch you have dropped will tighten itself and make one knot, shaping the invisible closing and fastening the ring. At last, move the 1st st. from right to left point, then place SM on right point.
