Learn how to make your HIUTALE dress in this 8 minute tutorial video:

Merino wool knit dress with 3/4 sleeves:

I made the HIUTALE dress for Bernhild in a size 4 from medium-weight, soft, mulesing-free merino wool jersey (235 gsm). The idea behind the dress was to create an everyday garment from wool knit with a delicate collar, no seams on the neckline and a hem that just covers the knees. The slits create a polished finish and make the overall look a bit lighter. You can use any medium-weight knit for your design, but my favourite of the three different versions I've made so far is the merino wool version for Bernhild!

Notes:

• Remember to use knit interfacing when working with knits!

• I learned my self to create mitered corners only after finishing with the HIUTALE for Bernhild. I would recommend you to give this a try with the slits. The instructions are included with the pattern in issue No.16 (p.86) and with the PDF pattern.

You can get the pattern for making your HIUTALE dress pattern from the print magazine, TAUKO Magazine issue No.16 or as a PDF pattern.
