Unicef Dress is inspired by, and made and designed for all the children of the world. The total sales of this pattern will be donated to Unicef and their work for the world’s children. Unicef Dress is worked from the top down, has a circular yoke construction, and a charted Fair Isle pattern of children holding hands around the edge of the skirt. The dress is shaped with German short rows at the neckline and underarms, and you both start and finish the dress with ribbed edges. The dress is worked in two contrasting colorways, using either 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair or using 2 strands of Merino.
