I knitted my first Dress

May 29

Hey y'all on August 15th I decided to knit my first knit dress. I've always wanted a long ankle length cozy dress, so I was excited to get started.

I started with casting on 111 stitches and went on from there. I didn't know the exact amount i needed for my size but i went with what i thought was best. I used two different color yarns ( Burgundy & Gold ) I typically don't like using 2 different colors because i like to make things with one solid color but I ran out and needed to add another, so gold was what looked best.

For the top, I never knitted a v neck, so I went to look up how to do it and surprisingly it was way easier than I expected it to be and as it became easier and me doing more of it, it started to come together beautifully. I used 3 rolls of yarn for this project.

As i finished up the last few rows of the strap and sewing them together, I tried it on and it was a bit too big than i wanted it to be lol, but I still loved it!!! The straps were a bit too long so I wrapped each strap on the opposite side to make it fit me better and it came out beautifully!!!! I love the design of the tank top and am absolutely astonished that I made this on my first try.

This project took me about 2 weeks to create, I'm learning to not rush through it and take my time and enjoy it. It was definitely time consuming and tedious but I really enjoyed creating, designing and learning this piece.
