The June 1977 Workbasket Magazine Vintage Dress - Finished

I was going to tell you about how I failed to make a vintage hat this week but the dress is finished so I’m going to share that with you instead.   Next week I’ll share the two hats I tried to make and failed.

This dress was one of the easiest patterns I’ve done from Workbasket Magazine.  The directions were clear and it came together very quickly.  It was easy to remember the pattern in the round and portable so I could work on it on the bus or while watching a show.   The top is done in rows and the bottom is done in rounds.  The back has buttons but just uses the natural holes in the stitches for the button holes so no extra button holes to add to the dress.   It’s timeless and sweet; perfect for a small child. 

I used three colors of Knit Picks Brava Worsted; Canary, Grass and Hunter.    I made no changes in the pattern other than the colors.  I added orange buttons on the back for another spot of color.   I love how this turned out!
