Hopi dress is an easy-to-knit garment, even for beginners, worked from the bottom up. The dress is a great addition to Wilderness Knitting, even in warmer weather. The pattern puts a modern twist on classic wilderness knitting, resulting in a comfortable and stylish dress that is perfect for warm summer days. Easy to knit, versatile and customizable. Hopi dress designed by Linka Neumann

Sizes
1 year (2 years) 4 years (6 years) 8 years (10 years)

Knitting tension
10 cm solid color stockinette stitch Pinne 3.5 mm= 22 stitches
10 cm pattern knit Pinne 4 mm= 22 stitches

Most people knit tighter on patterns than they do when they knit plain stockinette. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when you knit the pattern. Knitting strength varies from person to person and always knit a test piece before you start.

Yarn: Sol lambswool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk
For summer use, you can use Line from Sandnes yarn or Bamboo from Viking yarn. Double Sunday is a merino yarn and can also be used.
